The Scope E-Newsletter April 2009

William Metheny, PhD, course director, welcomed Martin Eason, MD, and Patrick Alguire, MD, as keynote speakers at the April Faculty Development Workshop.

The April 3 Faculty Development Workshop, designed for UT Graduate School of Medicine faculty and volunteer faculty by our Academy of Scholars Committee, provided an opportunity for dynamic exchange of teaching knowledge and techniques.

The free CME workshop welcomed guest speakers Patrick Alguire, MD, American College of Physicians, who presented Teaching in the Office, and Martin Eason, MD, James H. Quillen College of Medicine, who discussed Teaching with Simulation. Both speakers provided one-on-one and hands-on presentations and challenged the attendees to examine their teaching styles and level of knowledge in important areas.

Additional topics included Giving Feedback, The Challenging Student, Teaching in the OR, and Bedside Teaching.

Learners participated in simulation and teaching scenarios and gained from spirited open discussions and demonstrations.
