Each module consists of a 10-15 minute didactic component, followed by a group interactive exercise to illustrate key points.
Adult learning: You’ll be able to identify the five principles of adult learning, the domains of learning, and apply the principles of adult learning to your teaching in a clinical setting.
Orienting and feedback: You’ll use orientation to diagnose a learner’s needs and recognize the importance of providing high quality feedback to learners.
Teaching models: You’ll use the One Minute Preceptor model to promote effective and efficient clinical teaching.
Advanced questioning skills: You’ll identify the barriers to questioning and apply Bloom’s taxonomy for questioning in a clinical setting.
Teaching technical skills: You’ll use an organized approach to teaching technical skills, know the appropriate steps in acquiring new technical skill knowledge, and recognize the importance of feedback and practice in mastery.
Teaching at the bedside: You’ll appreciate the value of bedside teaching, adopt strategies for bedside teaching (especially in busy ambulatory settings) and improvise to create learning opportunities.
Teaching portfolios: You’ll recognize the role of CV and teaching dossiers, as well as the components that make up a dossier. You’ll also start developing your “Philosophy of teaching”.
