Programs & Courses in Higher Health Professions Education
Practical Content
Each course covers practical skills for the health professional in higher education. You'll recognize and identify with the issues raised because they are the same concerns you are working with each time you enter a classroom or sit with a student in the clinical setting. Instructors focus on practical application, as well as educational theory.
Constantly Updated Content
Courses are revised regularly with input from past participants, other instructors, and research reports. State-of-the-art materials ensure that the content is current, reliable, and fresh.
Involving and Challenging Methods
Each course is designed using classic educational and psychological theories and innovative learning techniques. In-depth analysis of objective-driven, outcomes-oriented content drives the selection of the best method to communicate. We hold your interest through (and model for you) the effective use of:
- Lectures
- Inventories
- Role plays
- Discussions
- Checklists
- Simulations
- Case studies
- Self assessments
Master Practitioner Instructors
Each of our instructors is an active learning specialist with 15-35 years of directly related experience in the subject they are teaching They regularly consult with faculty on many campuses for content, techniques, technology, and delivery. You'll learn from their real-world examples, advice, and answers. Our instructors "model" what they teach through demonstration of each technique and concept rather than by simply lecturing about it.
Limited Class Size
Classes average under 20 participants so your individual needs and objectives are solicited and addressed.
Individualized Assignments
In many of the courses you choose your own assignment to best fit your own projects and teaching challenges.
