Teaching Methods Seminar

Fellows currently meet for two-hours twice a month in seminars to learn methods in clinical teaching, applicable to a variety of clinical settings (ambulatory, acute care hospital and long-term care), and educational settings (one-on-one supervision, small group discussion and lectures), and to research teaching (also one-on-one supervision, small groups and lectures). Dr. Orlander runs this seminar. These methods are applicable to a variety of types of students (medical students, residents, fellows, practicing and academic physicians, and non-physician professionals). The topics covered in the teaching seminar are covered over a two-year cycle except for key topics like soliciting and giving feedback, which are covered yearly. Fellows participate in both years of their fellowship.
