| EDU Faculty of Medicine Workshop Strand With support from the Faculty of Medicine, the EDU is able to offer a workshop strand catered to those Imperial and NHS staff who teach undergraduate medical students. The workshops are free of charge and are likely to carry CPD approval from the Royal College of Physicians. The medical strand workshops are part of a comprehensive programme of educational development activities offered by the Educational Development Unit. In addition to the programmed workshops a 'by-request' facility is offered. This means that it may be possible to run additional workshops locally at the request of a particular Hospital, Trust, Division or Campus. I would be grateful if you could distribute this information to all relevant staff. |

Assessment, Feedback and Reflection on Clinical Performance: How? Why? Assessment, feedback and reflection on performance can be used as powerful tools to motivate and improve learning. This workshop is on the contemporary use of performance-based assessment tools such as the OSCE, mini-CEX, DOPS, and PACES in undergraduate medical education. It is interactive in nature and will explore how and why assessment, reflection and feedback fit together and can be used to develop undergraduate medical students' clinical practice. The workshop will also explore the skills needed to improve your role as an assessor and feedback provider. |

A Practical Introduction to Problem Based Learning (PBL) A half day workshop designed to prepare staff to facilitate problem based learning tutorials. The workshop explores the nature of PBL and rationale for its use before exploring skills of facilitation. It concludes with an opportunity to practice facilitation skills with medical students. This workshop was formerly known as 'PBL Practical'. This workshop assumes an understanding of key principles of teaching and learning and of standard ways to structure and deliver teaching. Prior attendance at Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Medicine or a comparable workshop is required as pre-requisite. This workshop requires some preparatory reading. |

Student portfolios and other reflective tools: How? Why? Reflection is a feature of expert behaviour. As a tool for learning from experience, reflection can take many forms from: day-to-day introspective analysis; to targeted, structured activities like a 'critical event analysis'; to longitudinal projects such as a portfolio. Reflection, as a practice, has been brought into the undergraduate curriculum and as such requires awareness and skills on the part of teachers to use it effectively. Student portfolios and other reflective tools will be examined through a series of interactive discussions and exercises. How to facilitate and promote reflection in students as a teacher will also be explored. |

By-request Workshops In addition to the programmed workshop events, a by-request facility is offered where it may be possible to offer a 'local' version of a standard workshop at the request of a particular teaching hospital, Trust, Division or Campus or similar. Approaches to Teaching in Clinical Settings is particularly suitable for less experienced NHS staff. It is also possible to request other programmed workshops and it may be possible to adapt one or more of these workshops to fit specific need/available times. Provisional time slots have been allocated into which bookings can be made. 'By-request' dates are offered to NHS Trusts, FoM Divisions, etc. on a rotating basis. Unused dates will be offered to a wider audience on a first come, first served basis. Please enquire to register your interest. |

| Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Medicine and Approaches to Teaching in Clinical Settings are sound introductory workshops surveying key components related to teaching and learning in medicine. If you are new to teaching medical students or have not attended any learning and teaching workshops before, we recommend you attend Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Medicine. If you are an NHS member of staff we recommend you consider Approaches to Teaching in Clinical Settings. Staff involved in assessing students in a clinical capacity may benefit from attending the workshop on Assessment, Feedback and Reflection on Clinical Performance.
Staff wishing to pursue specific topics in more depth may consider taking one of the other Faculty of Medicine workshops. The Problem Based Learning workshops are designed for staff who wish to facilitate PBL tutorials. It is essential that you first attend Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Medicine (or similar) before booking into the Practical Introduction to PBL workshop and that you have some experience of facilitating PBL tutorials before you book into Improving and Enhancing Facilitation Skills for PBL. For more information about these workshops and the rest of the medical workshop strand, please click on the workshop titles listed below. |
