Clinician-Educator Pathway

Teaching skills are vital for resident success. The Clinician-Educator Pathway helps residents who are passionate about teaching prepare for careers in medical education.

Pathway residents participate in monthly educational seminars, a teaching workshop, and a 4-week long hands-on teaching elective. Several of our faculty have completed advanced degrees in medical education from institutions around the world and will serve as key faculty to the clinician-educator pathway residents. Experienced educators will observe pathway residents as they teach different levels of students and junior residents in a variety of venues and will provide targeted feedback. Residents will also complete a scholarly project related to teaching and/or education under the guidance of a clinician-educator mentor. Residents will receive career guidance and be encouraged to participate in medical education conferences.
