Workshop Series
SUNY Downstate College of Medicine is committed to strengthening faculty effectiveness in medical education through the development of teaching, facilitation, assessment, and mentorship skills. Our programs support the delivery of the Integrated Pathways Curriculum and promote excellence in teaching and learning across the educational continuum.
Our medical educator development initiatives are organized around three areas of focus.
Weekly workshops that prepare faculty to facilitate small-group clinical skills instruction, guide student learning, and strengthen clinical teaching and assessment.
