The Big Pivot in learning and teaching required - very suddenly - a halt of face-to-face learning and the rapid transition to alternate delivery, both academically and clinically. In the face of this pandemic and seemingly overnight, teaching and learning went virtual - and the volume of information on online pedagogy - best and emerging practices, how to transition to online, using simulation, supervising learners doing virtual care - became overwhelming.

To address this information overload, the UHN-Michener library team and Clinical Education are collaborating with partners from Learning, Innovation & Research (LIR) and The Institute for Education Research (TIER) to curate relevant, reliable sources of information to facilitate knowledge synthesis and mobilization to enable all our teachers and learners to realize the best education and best teaching and learning experience.

We will also be curating Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and our information SWAT team is ready to find the evidence to answer your questions about teaching and learning in the time of COVID.

Please send any questions or recommendations to:

Juanita Richardson - Manager, Learning Resource Centre, Michener Institute: JRichardson@Michener.ca

Tracy Paulenko - Educational Development Leader & Interprofessional Education-Care Co-leader, UHN Clinical Education; Tracy.Paulenko@UHN.ca

Please Note

The recommendations and suggestions on this repository are curated by librarians, research scientists, education design specialists, and clinical educators at UHN.

Health Narratives - Personal stories of health and health care experiences

Health narratives are personal stories of health care experiences written by patients, families, or healthcare professionals.

Drawing on the principles of Narrative Medicine, the use of published health narratives has the potential to benefit clinical education, practice, wellness, and patient experience. Studies have demonstrated several benefits to health professionals and learners: building empathy and compassion, promoting interdisciplinary practice and understanding, increasing the understanding of how the healthcare system is viewed and experienced by patients, and encouraging self-expression.

The stories listed below focus on the five patient values listed in the UHN Declaration of Patient Values and their related behaviours.

The basics of MS Teams

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The global pandemic has accelerated the shift to an online environment for teaching, learning and research. For clinician teachers and educators, the need to develop the skills and expertise in creating effective online courses and programs has increased. For researchers, looking to build a national or international presence, understanding how to disseminate academic work, QI and research across digital platforms has become more important.

Continuing Professional Development's new Teaching with Technology certificate program offers a 40 hour accredited program to help enhance your digital skill set for teaching and learning using education technology. This program goes beyond the basics of education in an online environment, to effectively integrate online pedagogical design into successful teaching.

Target Audience

Healthcare Educators (Physicians, Clinicians, Nurses); Healthcare Administrators, Interprofessional Educators

Goals & Objectives

Goals

Participants will develop a comfort level in:

using various software (WHAT buttons to click)

aligning use with pedagogical and instructional design principles (WHY to click)

and examining the advantages and disadvantages of different tech enhanced tools as well as issues such as professionalism, inclusivity and privacy (WHEN to click)

The class will be structured around constructivist approaches with significant interactivity, group work, feedback, and practical application. Learners will also develop a mini-portfolio of online content including a website, video, infographic and recorded webinar.

Objectives

By the end of this certificate course, learners will be able to:

1. Demonstrate a comfort level using various teaching technologies within the course (zoom, padlet, twitter, infographics, video, and website creation) and knowledge of other mediums and software.

2. Analyze/evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different types of technology and appropriately select different modalities to meet specific learning objectives

3. Debate issues such as online privacy, copyright, and instructional design principles

4. Research and teach about a technology enhanced tool or concept (via Zoom)

5. Apply and adapt educational frameworks and theories for online healthcare education

Accreditation

Continuing Professional Development (CPD), Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Continuing Medical Education (CACME), a subcommittee of the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS). This standard allows CPD to review and assess educational activities based on the criteria established by The College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

As a result of a reciprocal agreement between the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, The American Medical Association, and The European Union for Medical Specialties (EUMS), CPD is permitted to assign respective credits.

Requirements

1. Access to high speed internet, webcam and headset (earbuds with a microphone will suffice).

2. Commitment to group learning and providing/receiving peer feedback

3. Willingness to download free software such as zoom and twitter to your devices

4. Open to having content such as webinar recordings, tweets, and videos posted online

(If there are privacy, accessibility, or inclusivity concerns to any of the above, please contact us to discuss if alternative arrangements for your learning can be made based on an individual basis before signing up for the course)

This year's theme is the Art and Science of Continuing Professional Development. New Technology, New Knowledge, New Learning

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education (SACME) invites you to join us for our 2021 Annual Meeting which will be presented in a virtual live format. The world has seen great change in the last year and CPD has seen its share of impact.
The theme for this year's event Art and Science of CPD: New Technology, New Knowledge, New Learning was chosen before the onset of the pandemic and the historic momentum of the social justice movement. The theme is quite relevant in our new reality. SACME continues to uniquely integrate scholarship and best practices in CPD.

This program acknowledges the state of change and many challenges within which we must now operate. Programming will address strategies for building personal and professional resilience, showcase innovative approaches to the use of technology that fosters growth in CME/CPD programming, and methods to create a culture of belonging and inclusion in our organizations and in our activities. Content will reinforce SACME's mission to promote the highest value in patient care and health of the public through the scholarship of continuing medical and interprofessional education and feature oral abstract presentations addressing research, best practices and innovations across the continuum of CME/CPD from the wealth of quality abstracts that have been submitted for consideration.

Longitudinal programming will provide opportunities for experiential learning, professional networking, and social engagement in the weeks leading up to the three days of concentrated events in February and in the months following the Annual Meeting.
