As a fellow in an interprofessional program, I am constantly seeking to better understand how medical education interacts with the multi-disciplinary lenses we all use to provide high-quality patient care. Over the course of my fellowship year, it has been clear that learning how to be an effective teacher, is equally as important as seeking mastery over sub-specialty content.

While I am fortunate within my fellowship to have a heavy emphasize on interprofessional collaboration and learning, I am also just as fortunate to have access to additional educational opportunities within the Center of Expertise. The Clinical Skills Teaching Course fostered a day-long experience where like-minded individuals were allowed to gather and explore their passion for education. Regardless of discipline, there was quick consensus regarding the importance of clinical teaching, as well as recognizing the disparity of time dedicating to teaching us how to teach within medical and nursing education. My biggest takeaway was the unquestionable level of investment, and curiosity that everyone offered in each session. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is even contemplating applying! It’s worth every second!
