Building a career in medical education research!

It was a thrill to participate in the Clinical Teaching Skills course through the Partners GME Centers of Excellence in Medical Education opportunity! 

Networking with and learning from several

inspiring trainees interested in med ed!

This training course was a fantastic opportunity to network with and learn from other GME trainees in medical education.  There were several skills-building sessions that will help me to become a stronger clinical educator.  Clinical teaching is a key part of our role as trainees in academic medical center, and it is crucial that we get evidence-based training to develop this skillset.

We also learned about the cognitive science of teaching and adult learning, which will not only help me to be a more thoughtful educator, but also provides a foundation to think more critically about medical education research.  This course identified several important areas of research within medical education, and has provided me with an important skillset to move forward with a career as an educational leader and researcher.
