VITAL faculty, also known as non-tenure-track instructors at colleges and universities in the United States, play critical roles educating students but are often excluded from professional development community-building opportunities that support their growth instructors. In this article, we describe how addressed these inequities a consortium of institutions with differing missions, strategic goals, student populations, by facilitating collaborative initiatives for our faculty. We apply...
Over the last seven years, I have spent time across three continents talking to scientists and mathematicians about their beliefs attitudes experiences related writing in respective disciplines.I been impressed by passion insight with which most talked its relationship critical thinking, often surprised how they engage these practices.For example, rather than working from an a priori hypothesis, many researchers STEM disciplines compose backwards, results introduction.And when reading, seem...
Clinical reasoning is a necessary skill for medical students to acquire in the course of their education, and there evidence that they can start this process at undergraduate level. However, physician educators who are experts given fields may have difficulty conveying complex thought processes students. Providing faculty development equips with tools teach clinical support early students.We provided on modified Bayesian method teaching clinician facilitated small-group, case-based workshops...
