Course Description

The Faculty Development and Teaching Course is a weeklong educational experience that combines didactic sessions, group discussions, and interactive workshops. Great care will be taken to ensure that class interactions are lively and that slides and PowerPoint presentations are not the sole teaching modality. Course faculty members will be onsite throughout the conference, ensuring that the learning environment is rich in discussion and that mentoring takes a central role in participants’ overall experience. Participants will attend part of a 5-hour educational session that is part of our emergency medicine residency and will learn cutting-edge techniques on how to incorporate the use of simulation and procedural education into their own clinical practice and educational programs. Attendees will also tour the adult emergency department at the University of Maryland Medical Center, the clinical areas of the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, and the administrative and operational offices of the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS).

Didactic and small group discussions will focus on the following topics:
