iTeach: A Conference for the Modern Medical Educator

Milwaukee, WI US
October 20, 2017

As MCW expands training programs across the state, we must ensure that core and clinical faculty possess the necessary skills to provide high-quality education of our trainees.  As such, this conference will provide participants with techniques to effectively teach learners at the undergraduate (medical school) and graduate (residency) levels.  

Through the use of interactive workshop format, this conference will bring together physician and psychologist clinician-educator faculty from multiple sites with the goal of honing educational techniques and improving collaboration across clinical sites.

Target Audience

Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, residents, and fellows who directly instruct trainees in patient care.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss differences in learning styles among various adult learners including peers and patients
  • Modify educational delivery methods to meet learner goals (peers and patients)
  • Recognize the utility of graphic medicine in patient care
