Courses

This Harvard Macy Institute modular course supports health care professionals as they adapt new technologies and approaches into the learning environment for pre-clinical, clinical and post-graduate learners.

The course integrates the science of education with hands-on experience to support the transformation of teaching through the creation of effective synchronous and asynchronous virtual learning experiences and environments. Facilitated by educational leaders with expertise in using technology for teaching, this course will incorporate large and small group sessions with hands-on experiences, consultation to facilitate the development of your personal teaching projects, and opportunities for practice utilizing new technologies.

At the end of this course, educators will have developed a toolbox containing the essential skills to embark on transforming learning and teaching for the virtual environment.

In support of improving patient care, Harvard Medical School is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
