Intro to Clinical Teaching

Catalog description

This is a longitudinal elective that will take place over the course of the academic year. Upon successful completion of course criteria, students will receive credit for a two-week elective. Students will attend hour-long workshops, held in evenings throughout the fall, each focusing on one discrete teaching skill. Students will then be given multiple opportunities to practice teaching skills within the context of the Foundations in Medicine course and other possible settings. This course is meant to complement, not to replace, the Advanced Clinical Teaching elective held in spring. While both offer opportunities to practice, this course contains more focused skill-building, while the Advanced Clinical Teaching course offers theory, approaches, and applications to lifelong development as a clinical educator.
