Executive Director
American Dental Education Association
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), one of our partners in the IPEC, has announced a call for submissions for competency-based learning and assessment resources in support of the IPEC Core Competencies Report. Funded in part by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, this initiative is designed to create a national clearinghouse of competency-linked learning resources for interprofessional education and models of team-based or collaborative care. The AAMC, with guidance from the IPEC-MedEdPORTAL Advisory Committee, will select up to fifteen applicants for resource development awards of $2,000 to accelerate content refinement in preparation for formal submission and peer-review to MedEdPORTAL. Award application deadline is Friday, May 25, 2012 with applicants notified of funding decisions by June 18, 2012.

The Chairs and Academic Administrators Management Program (CAAMP) offers 3.5 days of interprofessional leadership development for new, current, and future chairs and academic managers in health professions education.

School of Medicine Faculty Development Workshops (2011-12)
The School of Medicine has released their calendar for faculty development workshops for the 2011-12 year. There are 21 workshops in all, including ones on Clinical Teaching, Educational Strategies to Promote Clinical Reasoning (no link, this one is taking place at the Natividad Medical Center in Salinas), Large Group Teaching, Teaching Procedural Skills, and Developing Skills in the Art of Effective Feedback and Remediation. Please refer to the School's Faculty Development Workshop site for additional details and for a full list of the workshops. Although the School of Medicine has offered to make these workshops available on a space-available basis to faculty in the other Schools, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to get into the workshop of your choice. The best approach is to act quickly! Please also, bear in mind that you may need to contact your Division Chair to arrange for leave from your teaching/research/clinic activities prior to applying for one of these courses.
ITL - Institute for Teaching and Learning program - registration deadline is August 3, 2012.
The ITL is a collaboration between ADEA and the AAL, the American Academy for Leadership. Their 6.5 day course, offered in two phases in August and October of 2012, includes a host of topics, including the following:
- Academic career planning, including transitioning from private practice into academia
- Case-based learning
- Clinical teaching best practices
- Classroom teaching best practices
- Course planning and instruction design
Two faculty in the school took this course in 2010 and thought that it was highly effective. Contact Associate Dean Peter Sargent for details.
