Who should participate?
If you identify as a clinician/science educator or have an education background or just want to learn more about education as applied to your job. The more diverse our group the better, so we can have a range of perspectives. Thus, don’t feel like you need to be a senior level faculty member with years of educational experience. You do not even need to be a faculty member to participate.
Why participate?
(1) Stay current on education literature applicable to the health sciences
(2) Practice critical appraisal skills
(3) Interact with others working on education

For Academic Year 2016-2017 we will meet on September 27th, October 25th, December 6th, January 31st, February 28th, March 28th, and April 25th from 12-1pm in HSEB.
