Teaching, Evaluation, and Curriculum for Healthcare Professionals (TEACH)
This course supports professionals as they grow from excellent healthcare providers to effective educators. Participants will gain skills in curriculum design, clinical teaching, and coaching learners.
In addition to session-based learning, participants will complete a longitudinal project in the area of their choice. While baseline skills are practiced through fictional examples in the sessions, the longitudinal project offers Participants the chance to create something real, applicable, and practice-ready.
Participants attend a total of six 4-hour course meetings from January to June.
"I appreciated learning about the steps for curriculum development, precepting skills, and small group facilitation."
"Overall, an excellent course, and one I would highly recommend as being an excellent introduction into the work of faculty."- What faculty say
