Stop, Talk, and Roll: Addressing Micro-aggressions in Your Clinical Teaching Practice

Feedback to the Clinical Learner: The Daily Microdose
Feedback is essential to learners' professional and personal development. Yet, learners report receiving little feedback during training. Furthermore, feedback that is received often does not provide assistance in changing practice or performance. 

This workshop will provide teachers with a framework to address these challenges. 

Participants will explore how coaching techniques, coupled with frequent micro-doses of feedback, will assist learners in achieving their learning goals.

After this session, participants will be able to:

Making the Most of the Flipped Classroom (When You Only Teach a Slice of the Course)
Have you been asked to “flip” your teaching, but wonder how it applies when you only lead a small part of a larger course? This interactive 90-minute workshop is designed for clinical and pre-clinical faculty who contribute sessions within broader curricula. Together, we’ll explore the principles of the flipped classroom, look at practical strategies to engage learners before and during class, and share approaches that work even when you only have a short block of teaching time. By the end, you’ll leave with simple, adaptable techniques to enhance your own teaching while aligning with the course as a whole.

Hidden in Plain Sight? Confronting the Hidden Curriculum
Teaching takes effort—and sometimes, despite our best planning, learners absorb lessons we never intended. Beyond the formal curriculum, the clinical environment conveys powerful messages through values, beliefs, role modeling, and everyday practices. This “hidden curriculum” can shape learners’ professional identities in ways that support—or undermine—what we’re trying to teach.

In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we will explore strategies to recognize the hidden curriculum, reflect on its impact, and practical tools to help learners identify and respond to it. Faculty will leave with concrete approaches to make the hidden curriculum visible and turn it into a powerful teaching opportunity.

Learning Objectives:

1.       How hidden curriculum affects the learning environment

2.       Assessing your educational context for examples of hidden curriculum

3.       Strategies to address or mitigate the hidden curriculum

Walking on Eggshells:  Giving Difficult Feedback
Feedback is the cornerstone of effective clinical teaching. Well delivered feedback not only helps learners change their performance, it also promotes reflective practice and motivates future learning. This workshop will focus on strategies for giving effective feedback in a clinical setting, particularly in the context where the feedback may be difficult to give or difficult to hear.

Through discussion and participation, after completing this workshop participants will be able to:
