Teaching, Evaluation, and Curriculum for Healthcare Professionals (TEACH)

teach logo

 

  • TEACH is a six-month faculty development course focused on developing and implementing a curriculum that addresses an educational need in the participant’s program.

  • This is a highly collaborative course where participants work with people from our department programs—including residencies and fellowships—as well as programs outside of the department.

Participants attend a total of six 3-hour course meetings from January to May, culminating with a poster presentation in early June. The sessions include a mix of lecture, discussion, group activity, and facilitated work time. A participant's curriculum project is the backbone of the course.

"Overall, an excellent course, and one I would highly recommend as being an excellent introduction into the work of faculty."
