ENGAGING ACADEMICS IN THE MEDICAL EDUCATOR SETTING

Excellent instruction requires educators to motivate, support, and engage all learners in achieving mastery of rigorous academic content - even in medical education settings. Join the TLAC team and our medical educator co-facilitators, Dr. Rene Claxton, Director of Palliative Care Undergraduate and Graduate Medical Education at UPMC, and Dr. Bob Arnold, Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedmans Chair in Palliative Care and Vice Chair for Professional Development at Mount Sinai's Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, as we study high-impact techniques that support engagement in various medical learning settings.

WE WILL:

•Study and discuss videos of medical educators using techniques like Everybody Writes and Cold Call, and other Mean of Participation to increase the amount and depth of thinking all learners are doing

• Discuss relevant cognitive science that supports engagement strategies

• Practice various techniques in the context of medical education

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Medical educators of any discipline (physician, advanced practice provider, social work, etc.) for whom teaching is a recurring part of their role. The skills covered apply in a variety of educational settings such as large or small group teaching sessions or clinical teaching (rounds).

PREVIOUS ATTENDEES' THOUGHTS:

“While I had heard snippets of the TLAC content before, joining the workshop was transformative. I really appreciated the chance to think deeply about how and why the TLAC skills work while watching real life examples and trying the skills out myself. Turn and talk and Everybody Writes are game changers for me. I've already been able to use them with our medical residents and have seen them create way more opportunities for our learners to engage in a meaningful and fun way.”

“I loved this course!! I advertise it to all of our pulmonary and critical care medicine fellows interested in medical education! This was easily the best medical education course I’ve taken with practical tips that I could implement immediately. It was more interactive and engaging than several courses focused on medical education that were in-person and this was a virtual class!”

“Great course with high-yield, practical teaching tips. I have incorporated multiple strategies from this course into my teaching and also shared them with others who I thought might benefit! “

"I found the TLAC Med Ed Series extremely valuable as a new medical educator. I still learned so much even though I’ve already had exposure to the content and have been incorporating it into my teaching. The intentional content, application of teaching techniques, and built in opportunities to practice were helpful to continue my growth. I can’t recommend this series enough for anybody who wants to teach effectively."

Courtney Wagner, MD, MS
Assistant Professor of Medicine
Section of Palliative Care and Medical Ethics
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

"As clinician-educators in an academic program with large, interdisciplinary teams that include learners with different skill levels it can feel quite daunting to engage every learner and ensure they are in a psychologically safe environment that maximizes their experience, but also allows the clinician to still attend to the high volume, fast-paced demands of patient care. This course allowed me to learn and practice several, evidence-based techniques for small group teaching that were easy to understand and could be applied instantly — whether teaching at the bedside, on rounds, or through a short didactic session. The course design was intentional in both understanding my learners and respecting my clinical workload. I felt set up for success and confident that I could leave the course having the confidence to have a big impact on the educational experience of all types of learners immediately. I strongly recommend this course."

“Many Med Ed courses focus on broad, outside-the-classroom skills like program building, curriculum development, and education research. This course uniquely offers practical, relevant, evidence-based teaching skills that can be immediately used in the classroom or wards. I highly recommend it for both new and experienced clinician educators!"

Lindsay A. Dow, MD, MS

Massachusetts General Hospital

“This course really helped me teach on the wards - particularly how to engage the shy and under-engaged learner who often gets overlooked in a busy clinical setting. I learned how to foster minute-to-minute accountability in a fun and non-punitive way. When my learners started to cold-call each other, the learning became fun and seemed almost effortless. Highly recommend this course!!!”

“There are 2 techniques I really like and hope to use 1) saying someone’s name at the end of the question when I’m asking the group and 2) asking people to take 30 seconds to write something down before sharing it. I think these 2 techniques will help me to engage more learners who might otherwise be less likely to contribute.”
