Educational Foundations Webinars:

  • July
    • One Minute Preceptor
    • Raj Woolever, MD
      • The 1-Minute Preceptor model was introduced by Kay Gordon and Barbara Meyer at the University of Washington School of Medicine. It was developed to be fast and effective for clinician educators delivering formative feedback, and to be concise and constructive for the learner.

    • Adult Learning 101
    • Saroj Misra, DO
      • Adult learning theory addresses how adults learn differently from younger learners and how these differences manifest in how educators should optimally teach these disparate populations. Specifically, the application of adult learning theory in medical education is important in transforming learners into and remaining effective physicians. Medical education should be designed to equip physicians at all levels with the knowledge, clinical skills, and professionalism required to deliver quality patient care. This webinar discusses the foundations of Adult Learning in medical education, strategies, and importance for the clinical learning environment.

    • Gamification of Learning
    • Shayne Gue, MD
      • Gamification in medical education is the practice of incorporating game-like elements into the learning environment. It's a way to engage students and help them learn outside the traditional lecture or book setting. By allowing real-world application, gamification can improve learning, engagement, and cooperation. It may also help promote risk-free healthcare decision-making, remote learning, learning analytics, and quick feedback. This webinar provides practical uses for gaming in medical education, strategies for success, and resources for support.

    • Instructional Design
    • Ashley Wood, PhD
    • Brandy Church
      • Instructional design in medical education involves using knowledge about how people learn and instructional strategies to help medical learners reach optimal learning outcomes. It involves creating content and assessments and the systematic design of instruction to ensure high-quality learning experiences. The benefits of instructional design include the alignment of systematic design, ensuring that objectives, assessments, and content are aligned. Additionally, instructional design intends to ensure quality instructional materials can be developed by targeting curricular and student needs. This webinar provides an overview of instructional design, promising practices, and resources for support at the programmatic level.

    • Teaching to Improve Performance
    • Greg Guldner, MD
      • Although residents are critically important to delivering direct patient care in healthcare, the fundamental goal of residency training is education. The most remarkable characteristic of residency is its in-service training, in which teaching is integrated with practice scenarios to build a model for physicians’ ideological, ethical, and professional identity. The professional competence expected at the end of a medical residency program needs to go beyond technical knowledge. It also encompasses skills and attitudes that show effective team capabilities, leadership, communication skills, empathy, self-control, and metacognition. This webinar reviews the strategies of medical education to improve performance, strategies to encourage life-long learning, and answers commonly asked questions.
