Medical Education Four Years after COVID: Faculty and Staff Engagement - March 18

Faculty and staff carrying out the medical education mission at our academic institutions face a number of challenges that may seem new since the COVID-19 pandemic arrived 4 years ago. Expectations for the design and delivery of learning experiences have shifted; many students now devote more of their energy to non-required activities that allow them to stand out during the residency application process; and workplace culture has had to adapt to flexible work arrangements.

This webinar is the second in a series looking at the lessons of COVID-19 and how the pandemic has shaped medical education. Through a panel discussion, speakers will explore how the roles of faculty and staff have been reshaped. For example, they will discuss questions like the following: What types of teaching innovations and technology have persisted since the COVID-19 pandemic? What opportunities for professional development and growth exist now for faculty and staff? How are faculty and staff remaining engaged and thriving in today’s environment?
