Faculty Development: A Blended Learning Approach

Abstract

<p>This session will share the evolvement from the previous course design to the faculty development model currently in place. The &nbsp;presentation will focus on the &nbsp;planning meetings, confirming simulation faculty development instructors and training, securing Certified Medical Education (CME) , scheduling, building and maintaining an online component, designing the flow of the two day workshop, course dry run/pilot, advertising the course, how the course is evaluated and updated, statistics gathered, and overall personal experiences. &nbsp;Challenges and successes will be shared as well as long-term goals and future implementations within the current program. &nbsp;Participants will be encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentation in order to relate best to the content at hand as well as at the conclusion of the presentation. &nbsp; The presentation will not only focus on the formal faculty development course, but rather the additional professional development opportunities that we provide as a resource as well. &nbsp;These include tailored train-the-trainer sessions and quarterly 2 hour bursts of simulation education with specific topics.</p>
