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.
In this session the instructor will teach and role model six teaching strategies that are evidence-based and that will enhance your skills at noon conference teaching or any sort of teaching.

The Office of Academic & Professional Development (OAPD) offers faculty workshops throughout the academic year (Sept. – June) to support professional and career development. While geared toward assistant professors and research rank faculty, all faculty are welcome to attend. Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit is available for those who participate.
In this session, YSM’s new Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs Sam Ball, PhD will define indicators of educator excellence emphasized by the promotion committee and will examine a range of academic activities, especially teaching, considered important for Academic Clinician (AC) and Clinician Educator-Scholar (CES) recognition. A trained mentor and professional coach, Ball will also lead a discussion on the challenges of providing regular feedback and mentoring.

High-quality abstracts increase the likelihood of a submission being reviewed rather than summarily rejected and of a published work being eventually discovered and reaching its intended audience. A solid abstract is the entryway to presenting at a conference or publishing in a journal. Abstracts can be enhanced by incorporating a dozen proven strategies described in this session.

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.
