Founder & CEO @ Medtrics | On a mission to create an engaged healthcare workforce. I share stories about leadership, fatherhood, and healthcare education technology.
The game-changer in faculty training: simulated learning. Today, we were on-site with the faculty of the San Juan Bautista School of Medicine This marked Part 2 of our Curriculum Mapping training. The first session, we covered the theory and the "why" behind mapping. Today, we took a hands-on approach in a Medtrics. Here, faculty members created Sessions and mapped them manually and using AI. Lessons I've learned from training academic faculty over the years: 1. Clarity is Key: To engage and train faculty, we must first build clear processes and set expectations. It's not just about introducing a tool; it's about communicating 'why' it's necessary and 'how' it can be utilized effectively. 2. Practice Makes Perfect: Theoretical knowledge is beneficial, but hands-on experience in a simulated training environment is the game-changer. This approach enables faculty to create and map sample sessions themselves, thereby consolidating their understanding. 3. Engagement is Essential: The ultimate goal is not just to train but to engage faculty in the curriculum mapping process. It's about fostering a learning environment that inspires curiosity, encourages questions, and promotes active participation. There is nothing better than in-person collaboration for this. By involving faculty in the curriculum mapping process the school will build a strong academic foundation.
