Yale collaborates with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to co-sponsor a regional three-day faculty development course for academic faculty concentrated on assessment skills. This highly interactive course will address learner assessment skills (such as direct observation and feedback) as well as tools and strategies to help faculty best meet their programmatic requirements (clinical competency committee input, multisource evaluations). The target audience includes program directors, associate program directors, fellowship directors, clerkship directors, chairs, heads of clinical competency committees and other core faculty with major responsibility for assessment of students, residents and fellows.
This course will be offered in September 2024.
Be a B.O.S.S. at written feedback! Written feedback serves as the basis of an evaluation record whether you are a student, trainee, or faculty. Join us to learn a structured approach to make your written feedback specific, actionable, and learner-centered.

Capture your work efficiently so that your poster can in turn capture would-be viewers. A poster is not a distilled article; a poster is an expanded abstract. If the distinction appears too subtle, you may benefit from learning about this and other overlooked truisms in creating an effective poster. Medicine and the health sciences are team sports: let your poster help you make contact!

Teaching and assessing professionalism is a core component of graduate medical education, but the topic of professionalism is also a source of confusion and angst for educators and learners alike. In this seminar I hope to explore evolving definitions of professionalism in medicine, challenges that arise when we attempt to assess and remediate professional behaviors, and opportunities to work with learners as they prepare to enter the professional workforce.

Tips for writing during early career development – and beyond. You are not alone in coming to the realization that writing is hard work. Don’t believe anyone who says otherwise, but also don’t let it dissuade you from giving it a shot. You may not know it, and someone early in his or her career may not believe it, but the fact is that someone wants to read your work, and there is a home for it out there. Only one thing is for certain: if you don’t get started and give it a real try, then your work will never be published. Writing is hard work, but it is also a skill you can learn and one that gets better with practice and time. In this session I will try to persuade you that there are steps you can take to make the process more efficient, more hopeful, more likely to succeed, and, if nothing else, more bearable.

In this session participants will be introduced to the work of FAIMER (Foundation for Advancement for Medical Education and Research) including faculty development, educational research, providing world resources, and supporting International Medical Graduates. This will be followed by a conversation on opportunities for new initiatives and potential collaborations.

This interactive session is designed to help those looking to expand their educational scholarship to areas other than curriculum development. We will have an interactive session reviewing other scholarship types including examples produced at Yale and beyond. Participants will leave the session with abstracts and links to scholarship types discussed.

Using the Harvard Medical School Cambridge Integrated Clerkship as a case example, we will explore the rationale, experiences and outcomes of longitudinal integrated clerkship models of medical education. A special focus will be on professional identity formation and maintaining health professional boundaries in a highly relational curriculum.
