Program Evaluation Course reflected CE practices that are aspirational in use of IPE, QI and meeting the needs of learning Incredible interprofessional high quality CE as a model as well as content Spoke to so many audiences at so many levels Very high quality faculty, very well designed interactivity Best course of its type I have ever attended
Learning Outcomes What will you do differently as a result of this program? Everything! Mostly business processes! Find ways to promote value of CE New lens and language will help me view CE and PD planning opportunities Be deliberate in applying education best practices to our CE work
Examples of Projects Competency-based component to annual meeting Design and implementation of web-based training module for new medical officers for CMPA Potential of using patient reported outcome parameter to help stimulate interest in IPE Establishing processes and procedures associated with needs assessment and gap analysis for national specialty society Creation of a model for program development that fosters transformative learning learning
Leadership is an issue and a set of skills that has become recognised as a necessary and important aspect of a successful health professional. Many course are available across the world that teach leadership theory and skills. When applying leadership training to CHE do we really know how it differs from any other field? Are we simply taking generic skills and applying them to various backgrounds or is there something implicitly unique about leadership in CHE?
Thank you!
