Advanced Educator Development
The Advanced Educator Development Program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center incorporates the view that education is an ongoing and lifelong process. Medical educators who are committed to growing and developing professionally must invest energy in staying informed and increasing their skills.
This program, which features nationally recognized medical educators across the country, is intended for a regional and national audience of instructors in faculty development. The program emphasizes interactive and hands-on sessions designed for the more experienced medical educator.
The program goals are:
- To provide guidance to practice and improve medical educators' professional skills and to experiment and change their professional practices based on the application of advanced educational theories
- To encourage medical educators to develop their roles as professionals, to explore their professional strengths and weaknesses, and to organize their philosophies of education
- To learn how to be mentors to novices in ways which benefit both medical educator and students
- To become skilled in seeking information from research articles and professional presentations
- To encourage medical educators to conduct educational research to verify their teaching efforts and make the results known to educational colleagues through scholarly output
