The University of Southern California School of Medicine designates this educational activity for up to 16.5 hours in Category 1 credit toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. This workshop focuses on two key teaching approaches for faculty. Participants develop a lecture using a systematic approach taught in the workshop and then deliver it to colleagues and receive feedback. Participants also learn the preparation steps and management of small groups including skills for dealing with difficult groups.
Participants design a new educational experience for their home teaching program.
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.
