Yale School of Medicine’s (YSM) Center for Medical Education provides a synergized and centralized approach to educator and professional development, curricular design, and evaluation. We are highlighting upcoming Yale Medical Educator Series YES! sessions, taking place in October and early November.
All sessions are from 12 - 1 p.m. via Zoom with CME credit available.
**Friday, Oct. 20 – YES! “Enhancing Teaching with Technology – and Humans” by Andrés Martin, MD, PhD
Learner participation and interactivity can be easily enriched through a range of simple, powerful, freely available, and ever-evolving technologies. Electronic polls, real-time chats, gameshow formats, embedded videos, high resolution e-chalk-talks. The list goes on. No advanced computing degree required to participate and implement these high-yield enhancements.

Thursday, Oct. 26 -- MEDG: “Diversifying the Health Care Workforce: From Students and Beyond” by Benjamin Mba, MBBS
(Co-hosted with General Internal Medicine)
Discuss the deficit of underrepresented populations in the medical professions and the bottlenecks faced by underrepresented in medicine medical students. Examine together the benefits of a diversified health care workforce and strategies to increase diversity at Yale.
Friday, Nov. 3 – YES! “Enhancing Bedside Teaching” by Jeffrey Dewey, MD, MHS
Get back into the room where it happens! Effective bedside teaching can help to develop lifelong skills for patient-centered communication, physical diagnosis, and more. Many of our learners had less opportunities to hone these skills during COVID, so join us to develop your own skills to teach at the bedside.
Friday, Nov. 17 – YES! “Leveraging the Group’s Power: Leading Engaging Workshops” by Andrés Martin, MD, PhD
There is power in (small) numbers, and the workshop format is one of the more effective and clinically relevant ways to unleash it, whether in person or through synchronized videoconferencing. Some relevant tools include team-based learning (TBL), buzz groups, flipped classroom teaching, and structured debriefing. Welcoming and sharing uncertainty can help unlock the (full) group’s potential.
