Effective Clinical Teaching

Catalog description

The course aims to make students more effective clinical teachers in preparation for their role as teachers during residency. Strategies include classroom discussion of adult learning theory, facilitating small-group learning, teaching at the bedside, teaching using clinical cases, and giving effective feedback. Weekly participation in role plays of teaching scenarios is required. The final project is an 8 to 10-minute video-recorded 'chalk talk' on the topic of one's choice. Students self-reflect on the talk and obtain feedback from their classmates and instructor to develop a teaching improvement plan. Attendance at course sessions is mandatory. Permission of instructor is required. The classes meet Mondays from 5:00p - 7:00p. Students should contact Dr. Taylor Broome at [email protected] to obtain a permission number. Credit: 1.
