The Effective Teacher Series is a faculty development program provided for all faculty, fellows and
Residents, both pre-clinical and clinical, to enhance and improve teaching skills. The program consists
14 seminars on practical teaching skills, taught by faculty members who have a track record of success
in the classroom or clinical setting. Each seminar combines didactic instruction with discussion, and will
be held from 12 noon - 1:00 pm in D1.602. Please note, due to austerity, we will only be able to
provide refreshments. Feel free to bring your own lunch. Continuing education credit is available
(please see below for CME details). Should you have questions, please contact the ETS Administrator.
