FELLOWSHIP
SEMINARS
The goal of
the weekly seminars is to discuss and expand upon the material covered
in the University of Dundee unit to be covered that week, with exploration
of how the material can be applied in our resident and student education.
Since the residency is part of the P4 demonstration project, we
consider it a laboratory for exploring innovative teaching and curricula,
with the goal of creating excellent family medicine physicians.
Dr. Shaughnessy,
the Fellowship director, is an internationally-known expert on information
mastery, the applied practice of evidence-based medicine.
Fellows are given the training and experience to develop curricula
and teach information mastery at the student or resident level.
In addition to a firm foundation in medical education theory and
practice, leaders in family medicine education require skills and
knowledge in other areas. The Fellow Seminar topics (below) focus
on developing well-rounded teachers.
