This seminar is intended for students who are interested in a career in health professions education. Completion of 'Introduction to Medical Education' (SOMGEN219, Winter Q) is recommended but not required. We will use didactic and small group instruction to examine several advanced topics in medical education: individualized learning, competency-based assessment, coaching in medical education, applied learning theory, disseminating educational scholarship, and the creation of digital learning resources. We hope that this course will inspire students to enter academic careers that include teaching as a central tenet of their life's work.
