The Department of Faculty Development at the UBC Southern Medical Program is now accepting registrants for the 2014/15 Master Teacher Certificate Program.
The Master Teacher Certificate Program is designed to support medical educators wishing to enhance their teaching and mentoring skills. The program consists of a monthly lecture series, small group discussions, a longitudinal project, and a peer teaching assessment. In addition, this year’s class will help design the curriculum for the 2015/16 cohort of Master Teachers as an exercise in curriculum design. The program starts this September and runs till next June.
The monthly lecture series features speakers with a wealth of teaching experience and carefully chosen to demonstrate masterful teaching techniques in their presentations. Topics for the lecture series have been selected after a detailed needs assessment and will build on foundational teaching skills taught in the ABC Primer Series offered through the UBC Faculty of Medicine Faculty Development Program.
The lecture series is open to all Interior Health staff, while all other program components are designed for registrants only. Both the lectures and small group sessions are videoconferenced from the Clinical Academic Campus at Kelowna General to Vernon Jubilee, Royal Inland, and Kootenay Boundary Regional. Maintenance of Proficiency (MainPro) and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits are awarded for participation.
Upon successful completion of the program, registrants will receive a Master Teacher Certificate at a social function hosted by the Regional Associate Dean, Interior.
To register, contact Jacqui Oshaski at 250.980.1310 or jacqui.oshaski@interiorhealth.ca.
