SUMC-Stanford Clinical Faculty Development Workshop

2013-11-18

Between November 8 and 10, the fifth SUMC-Stanford Clinical Faculty Development Workshop for clinical faculty nationwide was held at SUMC. The program was jointly designed and organized by SUMC and Stanford University School of Medicine, with the sponsorship of the Li Ka Shing Foundation.

The workshop saw 32 senior clinical faculty members from 13 medical schools nationwide participate in training sessions which focused on effective ways to improve the quality of clinical teaching. The workshop consisted of English-based teaching demonstrations by Professor Junhui Bian, Executive Dean and Director of the Center for Faculty Development of SUMC, and a series of seminars by Drs Kelley Skeff and Georgette Stratos, Co-directors of the Stanford Faculty Development Center for Medical Teachers, who were invited as special instructors for the workshop. The teaching demonstrations covered a variety of topics, including integration of latest research findings into curriculum, promotion of critical thinking among students, enhancement of teacher-student interaction, cases studies and assessment of students’ problem solving skills. The seminars delivered by Drs Kelley Skeff and Georgette Stratos focused on seven elements of teaching: learning climate, control of session, communication of goals, promotion of understanding & retention, evaluation, feedback, and promotion of self-directed learning. The seminars consisted of didactic presentations, video vignette review, role-play exercises, group discussions and self-reflection. The seminars were designed to enhance participants’ understanding of teaching goals and the set of behaviors that make up effective teaching.

After completion of the training program, the participants were awarded the certificates co-issued by the Center for Faculty Development of SUMC and the Stanford Faculty Development Center for Medical Teachers.
