Models of the clinical teaching process are taught to guide faculty interactions with learners. Role-playing, critiques of videotaped teaching encounters, and practice with actual learners will be used to reinforce skills. Participants will practice their skills with these strategies using standardized patients. Participants learn to assess multiple factors contributing to a difficult learning situation, then intervene appropriately. Case studies and simulations with learners are used for developing skills.
Participants also analyze difficult learning cases from their home teaching programs.
The focus of this course is on evaluation of learners. Each fellow will become proficient in the use of relevant measurement and evaluation terminology. By the end of the course each fellow should be able to describe alternative approaches to evaluating educational Programs. Each fellow will develop a plan for evaluating a course or clinical training program in the health professions. Learners will also gain skills needed to use evaluation data to enhance program quality.
