[cid:image003.jpg@01DC2EE5.11E48650]Office of Innovation and Scholarship in Medical Education RIME with Dr. Teresa Cavett It seems reasonable to say that most people have heard of podcasts, and many have listened to at least one. But have you ever heard of pubcasts? A pubcast is similar to a podcast but it focuses on discussing a research project directly with the researcher(s). You might want to think of it as a cross between a podcast interview and a journal club. It gives listeners the opportunity to hear not only the research results but also discover the experiences of the researcher as they undertook this journey. With the days getting shorter, the air feeling crisper, and all manner of things becoming pumpkin-spiced once again, it’s also an opportune time to explore and learn. Well, it’s always an opportune time to explore and learn, but there’s something about the fall that heightens that feeling, don’t you think? As always, ISME is looking forward to being a part of your learning adventures. Our podcasts are back and we’re starting out this month with an exploration of RIME. This framework for fostering student progress in a clinical setting…better yet, let’s listen as Dr. Teresa Cavett shares her wisdom and experience in this area.

ISME Praxis Series: How Salutogenic Principles Can Inform What We Do in Medical Education (November 28, 2025)
by Faculty Development 15 May '26

15 May '26

[cid:image001.png@01DC5E0F.1FCF6C40] Join the ISME Praxis Series A special series of talks hosted by Dean Nickerson highlighting opportunities for research to inform what we do in medical education Praxis is practice informed by theory, research, and reflection. The 2025-26 ISME Praxis Series features speakers from the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences who have undertaken research that informs a range of educational practices in health professions education. Each speaker will share an overview of their scholarly activities and describe how that work influences their practice as educators. Each talk is introduced by Dean Nickerson and concludes with a Q&A and conversation about how this research might apply more specifically in medical education. Guest speaker: Laura MacDonald, RDH, BScDH, MEd, PhD Dr. Laura MacDonald is an Associate Professor in the School of Dental Hygiene, Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba who is committed to teaching excellence. She has been teaching with the UM since 1986 and has collaborated with many University of Manitoba colleagues to understand best practices in teaching and learning. Her scholarly research includes a focus on innovative strategies that improve teaching effectiveness and learner engagement. She is the recipient of numerous awards for her teaching and service. How Salutogenic Principles Can Inform What We Do in Medical Education The health-of-self practice standard is an ethical requirement for physicians to ensure they can safely and competently practice medicine by maintaining their own health and well-being. Salutogenesis is a model that describes how health promoting factors influence individual health and well-being, including for students on campuses. When integrated with medical school curricula, salutogenic principles can importantly support health-of-self as a competency in medicine. Find out what learners need in their learning environment to thrive, and how a salutogenic philosophy might influence the way we think about well-being in medicine. In this talk, Dr. MacDonald will share insights from her research on the concept of healthy learning within Dentistry and Dental Hygiene, and together we'll explore how this perspective can shape curriculum, teaching, and learning in ways that support the health-of-self standard for both learners and faculty in medical education.
