COURSE INFO
Dear Principles of Medical Education attendees,
We are excited to welcome you to a large (now over 2500!) and growing international community of educators from all disciplines across healthcare, who have participated in our course over the years. Although slightly different due to the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, we are looking forward to coming together via the power of technology for 3 stimulating days of learning, teaching, community building, and networking. This course will be run on Zoom. Although we are sure you have all become Zoom experts by now, we wanted to share that Zoom works best if you have updated your Zoom client on ALL the devices you might use during this course. Please do that now by following these instructions. Additionally, to maximize your experience in this course, we are asking you to do the following:
1)
We are going to take full advantage of the power of remote learning to bring in your voices from across the world for 3 days of active learning. You will meet and interact with people from all over the globe and have an opportunity to share your insights and learn different perspectives on medical education challenges in 2023 and beyond. In an effort to build community and foster networking, we would like you to get to know all of US and we want to get to know YOU! We have recorded 30-second video introductions and we would like you to do the same. It is fun and easy (requires only a couple of clicks from any device).
Please click on this LINK to record a 30-second introduction – What is your name? (Please speak slowly so everyone can hear how to pronounce your name correctly,) Where are you joining us from? How do you spend your time as an educator? Thank you for doing this – you will all have access to these throughout the course.
2)
Please follow us on Twitter, @BIDMC_Education, to see live tweets throughout the course and participate in the discussion. We will be posting papers and resources and relevant points from each talk throughout the course with hashtag #HMSMedEd23. We want to hear from you! If you are new to Twitter and need help setting up your account check out this video we have created just for you: Twitter 101 – Dr. Shreya Trivedi
3)
We have created a collection of most of the articles referenced in the course through the free app called Read by QxMD. This app can be downloaded on both the iOS app store and Android / Google Play store. This app does require that you have a university-affiliated library login. The steps to get this app up and running can be found here: https://readbyqxmd.com/ and our curated article pdf's can be accessed by choosing to "Follow" the collection of articles entitled "Principles of Medical Education."
4)
We have also created some high yield videos in addition to Twitter 101 referenced above that are meant to complement the material in the course. You will have access to these throughout the course and we encourage all to watch them.
