ITD 439 - Student Academic Clinician Educator Course

The student ACE program is intended to support students who have interest in pursuing a career as an academic clinician educator. The curriculum consists of 6 professional development workshops, a majority of which will be presented as self-paced online modules in an effort to provide schedule flexibility. The content of the workshops aims to provide early exposure to high-yield skills important in becoming an effective clinical educator. Participants in the course will apply these skills as session leaders during the Clerkship Transitions into Practice Series (TIPS), CareForward Small Group Series, and Wellness/Professional Development sessions in the M1-M3 year. As near-peer mentors, students will have the opportunity to assist in the curriculum design and planning of their respective specialty clerkship orientation and specialty mentorship program.
