The monthly CME accredited MEDG sessions are held via Zoom for anyone at Yale involved in, or interested in getting involved in, medical education. These sessions are designed to address a timely topic of interest and engaging discussion among participants.
Our facilitators include members of Yale faculty as well as guests from other schools who are experts in their field. Each session is held in an informal and interactive format. Typically the facilitator will begin with a brief presentation on the topic and then the session is open for questions and discussion among the participants.
MEDG sessions are free to everyone committed to medical education at Yale and accredited by the ACCME for 1 AMA PRA Category 1 CME Credit.
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.
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.
