Directors of Clinical Skills (DOCS)
R. Ovitsh
The purpose of the Directors of Clinical Skills Courses is to build a cohesive and productive national consortium of educators who direct courses which teach clinical skills to medical students. We aim to promote scholarship, establish best practices, and encourage exchange of ideas. At this meeting, we will update NEGEA members about the DOCS organization including ways to join and become involved, solicit ideas and suggestions to share with the national organization, consider ideas for planning the national meetings, and brainstorm potential project(s) for NEGEA DOCS members.
Health Humanities as Teaching and Learning Strategy
A. Fornari, L. Martin
Health humanities programming explores the many ways in which the arts and humanities, as both formal and informal aspects of medical education, can inform healthcare, in terms of the physician-patient relationships, cultural competencies, and physician well-being. Our intent is to foster a Community of Practice (CoP) model for utilizing health humanities as a teaching and learning pedagogical tool. In this meeting, we will focus on achieving learning moments with either curricular or co-curricular efforts and approaching learning using artifacts, prompts and shared dialogue.
Librarians in Medical Education (LiME)
J. Kilham
LiME, or Librarians in Medical Education, began as a SIG within the NEGEA community in 2007. The purpose of the SIG is to serve as an opportunity for those teaching information literacy skills to students, residents and faculty to meet with and learn from others in the region who are on the forefront of planning and executing medical curriculum. LiME is not just for librarians but is for anyone interested in how knowledge of using the medical literature and information literacy plays a role in medical education.
Medical Education Learning Specialists (MELS)
N. Saks, H. Rashid, A Swan Sein, J. Meka, R. Lebeau
The purpose of the MELS SIG is to create a community of learning specialists who offer academic support to medical students, residents, and other health professionals. The SIG enables sharing best practices and resources, and supports professional development by providing opportunities for collaborating and developing research and other scholarly activities. The group welcomes all interested in discussing issues and improving services related to academic support. We hope you will join us for informal conversation and future planning.
