Experts will present on a range of topics in medical education and frameworks that guide scholarship. Participants will be guided in formulating a research question, choosing an optimal research design, and determining suitable outcome measures.

*All sessions are held asynchronously 

(Tuesdays: January 6, 13, 27, February 3 or 4, 17, 24, and March 10, 2026)

Although physicians gain clinical knowledge to become board-certified in their specialty, this does not necessarily mean they receive adequate instruction on working with learners in an academic environment or personal professional development. With this in mind, we developed a certificate course addressing the development of clinical educators in an academic environment. 

*Hybrid some sessions will be held over zoom or in-person. 

Only open to Assistant Professors. 

(Wednesday's, 5:30-7:00pm: October 1, 15, November 5, 12, and 26, December 10, 2024)

This course is a catalyst for continued growth and reflection in your journey toward anti-racist practice. It will challenge you to critically think about the complexities of anti-racism, recognizing that this is an ongoing process of learning and change. The program will introduce effective solutions for implementing anti-racist values and strategies. Through this shared exploration, you'll deepen your understanding of anti-racist principles and connect with a cohort of physicians who are also dedicated to creating a more just and equitable healthcare system.

*All sessions are held synchronously via Zoom. 

(Wednesdays: January 7, 21, February 4, 18, 2026)

Participants will acquire skills and knowledge that will enable them to manage common statistical tasks that confront researchers in the health and biological domains. From this, participants will be better prepared to interpret research journal articles and to conduct their own data analysis. Topics include: Data Analysis, Probability, Hypothesis Testing, and Student t-Tests.

*All sessions are held synchronously via Zoom. 

(Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00pm: April 1, 15, May 6, 13, 27, and June 10, 24, 2025) 

Faculty actively involved within the medical school curriculum will help guide participants through the “Six-Step Approach” popularized by Dr. David E. Kern and his book will serve as a reference and a guide. All participants are asked to come with a curriculum, program, or lecture that they will use as they work through each of the curriculum's six steps and at the final session provide recommendations as to how each aspect of the curriculum can be enhanced or sustained.

*Sessions will be held via Zoom or in person.

(Wednesdays: March 25, April 8, 22, May 6, 20, 2026)

Participants will acquire skills and knowledge that will enable them to manage common statistical tasks that confront researchers in the health and biological domains. From this, participants will be better prepared to interpret research journal articles and to conduct their own data analysis. Topics include: Analysis of Variance, Factoral Analysis, Linear Correlation, Regression, Chi-Square Test.

*All sessions are held synchronously via Zoom. 

Enrollment is a commitment to the certificate course; you need to be able to attend all evening sessions in order to receive the certificate. All certificate programs are scheduled bi-weekly beginning at 5:30pm and ending at 7:00pm.
