VFMP Faculty: Registration open for Teacher Certificate programs 2024-2025

**Shared on behalf of VFMP Faculty Development**

Dear VFMP Colleagues,

We invite you to register for a series of online teacher development workshops provided as a collaboration between the Regional Faculty Development Sites (Island, Northern, Southern, and Vancouver-Fraser Medical Programs).

The Teacher Certificate Program (TCP) welcomes faculty who teach and assess in the MD Undergraduate Program (MDUP) across all sites:

  • TCP 1: Foundational Teaching is designed for all who teach in the MDUP. Five 1.5-hour sessions on facilitating active learning, building healthy learner relationships, and developing effective feedback and assessments. This certificate is eligible for CME credits.
  • TCP 2: Career Planning & Wellness is designed with particular attention to the career and personal development of clinical faculty who teach in the MDUP with topics like promotions for clinical faculty and planetary health.

Each session is delivered on Zoom from 5:30 – 7:00 PM and courses within each track can be taken in any order towards a certificate. If you miss a session this year, not to worry, we will likely have another session the following year!

Join us at our upcoming sessions:

TCP 1: Focus on Foundational Teaching

TCP 2: Focus on Career Planning and Wellness

Our programs aim to support you with your teaching and learning endeavours. Visit the VFMP Teacher’s Hub for other faculty development opportunities. Or please speak to us to explore ways we can work together including customized workshops and ways to share best practices with colleagues across the MD program. 

Kind regards,
