We started this last day with a session on Curriculum Design by Dr. Morgan Soffler. Although other design methods exist, she focused on Kern’s 6 step curriculum design: problem identification, targeted needs assessment, goals &objectives, educational strategies, implementation, evaluation & feedback. Dr. Soffler stressed that this is not a linear process and is iterative. She shared some tips for using AI for curriculum development.   We next had a great session by Dr. Meredi

Dr. Chris Smith came back for his second talk on assessment of learning. He taught us that to be competent one must possess the required skills in all domains within a certain context at a defined stage of education or practice. He discussed the important issues of “competent vs. competence.” Dr. Smith added another pyramid to our repertoire of pyramids – Miller’s Pyramid (knows, knows how, shows how, does) and talked about how to get the top of Miller’s Pyramid!  (We told yo

We kicked off this morning with Dr. David Roberts talking about leveraging technology with an emphasis on generative AI and large language models. He provided a great overview and taught us some of the basics. He demonstrated how we can use Chat GPT to help us with a teaching session – a session on inpatient diabetes (thanks to participation help!)   David shared with us his recommendation for the one book we should read: Co-Intelligence Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mo

Dr. Schwartzstein taught us about critical thinking and clinical reasoning.  He emphasized that we must “work the problem.” He expanded on the dual process theory that Dr. Hayes introduced this morning. We also learned the importance of accepting uncertainty. It is our job to help learners THINK! We need to move away from memorization and focus on thinking skills. Dr. Schwartzstein introduced some challenges of AI that we will delve further into tomorrow. One big take home po

We kicked off the course with a great session by Dr. David Roberts. David inspired us to invest in our professional development to improve our teaching, He also talked about the ladder of competence and the goal to move from unconscious incompetence to mindful competence.  He reminded us that we don’t cover material, we uncover knowledge.   In the next talk, we learned about the “Science of Learning” from Dr. Hayes. This first session was meant to set the foundation for the w
