Effective Teacher Series

We have organized a very exciting faculty development program for this year, built upon enhancing previously developed themes such as Competency Based Education, Educational Technology, Active Learning and Electronic Health Records. Our new themes and presenters this year will speak on Inter-professionalism, Diversity in UT Southwestern Culture, Medical Informatics and Community Medicine. We are also fortunate to have several UT Southwestern organizations sponsor two invited speakers: Dr. Roberta Ness from UT-Health Science Center, Houston and Dr. Jason Frank from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Canada.

We have expanded presentation methods to include several panel discussions and two workshops. At the “Educational Technology - Wiki Workshop” participants will bring their computers to interface with a wiki page. In May, ETS will end with a unique “Empathy Workshop." Here, prior to attending participants will complete an online “Empathy Questionnaire / Survey”, reflect upon the score and then generate a list of experiences that would contribute to both an increase and decrease in their score. Another aspect of the Empathy Workshop will include open discussion from the audience to share reflections on what they experienced.

We look forward to your presence at our program.
