Core in Evidence-Based Teaching in the Health Professions

• Foundation to Innovation: Adult Learning
• Evidence Based Teaching
• Ensuring Learning through Assessment and Feedback
• Curriculum Development
• Instructional Strategies I
• Instructional Strategies II

Specialization Options - Select One

Educational Research in the Health Professions.

This option prepares health professionals to effectively create and engage in the research process beginning with the identification of research questions, the selection of sound methodological approaches including sample selection and instrument selection, the accurate interpretation of results, and the preparation of findings for dissemination through highly regarded journals. 

Educational Leadership in the Health Professions

This option prepares health professionals to effectively lead educational initiatives through curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation; program advocacy; funding identification and support; staff management; program management; and educational policy development and/or implementation

Both tracks allow for some customization through electives, projects, and/or practicum. Under both options and in consultation with assigned instructor and mentor, participants will develop an educational research project or an educational leadership project with clear objectives and defined deliverables. The results of these projects will be prepared for publication and presentation. Participants are encouraged to use challenges and questions needing to be addressed in their work environments for these activities.
