The Foundations in Medical Education faculty development course is designed to provide participants with the core knowledge and strategies to initiate a career as a teacher and educator. It is targeted at early career faculty as well as experienced physicians who are looking to take on a more formal role in the education of medical students, residents and/or fellows.
This 10-session course will be offered each academic year beginning in October. Sessions will take place on the second Tuesday of each month from 5:30-7:00pm at BIDMC, in person, to allow for a dynamic and interactive small group discussion structure.
