Full course description
The
course is designed for postdoctoral fellows, advanced graduate
students, faculty members, research staff and residents/fellows who are
interested in a career that includes teaching. Attendees should desire
to acquire knowledge about learning processes and to develop educational
planning, teaching and assessment skills to enhance their "teaching
toolkit."
UTeach
participants practice key skills needed for success in college-level
teaching as well as for working individually and in teams to accomplish
course objectives. Classes are supplemented by readings, worksheets and
self-assessment inventories. The course provides instruction in
contemporary pedagogic techniques and emphasizes teaching science
courses for undergraduates on campuses at predominantly undergraduate
institutions (PUIs), rather than teaching graduate / medical / dental
students at academic health science centers. UTeach instructors include
faculty from the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing at U TX
Health San Antonio and from local PUIs (St. Mary's University and Our
Lady of the Lake University).
UTeach
is sponsored by the San Antonio Biomedical Education and Research
(SABER) Program and is supported, in part, by an Institutional Research
and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) from the National
Institute of General Medical Sciences of the NIH (PHS grant, K12
GM11726). The cost of the course is $50. A limited number of scholarships are available to trainees to cover the cost of the course. Please contact iracda@uthscsa.edu for further information.
