Welcome
PBSG-ED: Series on Medical Education for Clinical Teachers
Practice Based Small Group-Education (PBSG-ED) is dedicated to the enhancement of the educational skills of busy clinician teachers through the development of paper modules which can be used by small groups of teachers at times and settings of their convenience.
Each module provides continuing education that makes judicious use of the most recent and best educational evidence available. Starting from real-life examples of teaching/learning situations, the modules have been designed using a case-based format to promote discussion of challenging issues/dilemmas that are likely to arise when working with learners. Their purpose is to foster reflection and provide opportunities to refine skills-preparing the way for selected changes that can improve learning.
These faculty development modules have proven to be useful for a variety of health science educators (e.g. internal medicine, surgery, OBGYN, nursing, rehab science).
ACCREDITATION: CME credits may be important to some of your participants. Please work with your local Office of Continuing Medical Education to obtain accreditation prior to the session.
