Delivering development to your inbox


MacPFD is pleased to offer new digital content and we are continually developing new resources to support faculty development. This newsletter will regularly highlight featured content and promote our blogs, podcasts, recorded webinars, and other online resources.
In Case You Missed It...
Games, Gamification, & Serious Games for Health Professions Educators
 Originally presented September 2nd, 2021.
Teresa Chan, Michael Cosimini, Sarah Edwards, Tom Fadial, Eric Gantwerker, and Paulius Mui.
This is a 120 minute session designed to teach health professional educators the benefits of using games and gamification in the educational setting. A group of facilitators who have successfully designed and used games in their own teaching will share techniques, pearls, and pitfalls from their own experience.

Michelle Howard
Michelle Howard is an Associate Professor and health services researcher in Palliative Care, within the department of Family Medicine. She is also associated with MERIT and ICES McMaster.
 
I wouldn't have picked this book as an academic. It was given to me by colleagues in academia and I found out why. It describes a large study of companies that made the leap from good to great, and what traits/behaviours they had, that other non-leaping companies did not have. I began to see a lot of parallels to successful scholars - find what you are really good at and passionate about and stick to it, don't re-invent yourself, stay the course, get the right people 'on your bus' and the wrong people off your bus.  Aside from the usefulness of the concepts that can be applied anywhere (think of your scholarly program and team as your 'business'), it's a great piece of science from the business world too.
Spark Podcast Episode 29

In the twenty-ninth episode of MacPFD Spark, we will listen to Dr. Liliana Coman discuss her experiences working to improve problem-based learning (PBL) in the academic healthcare environment.

MacPFD has transformed the ways in which we support and build the skills of faculty members and senior trainees who teach and mentor our students by transitioning all development offerings to online learning opportunities. In the last year we have provided open access to more than 3,000 faculty members and guests to over 100 digital events including webinars, conferences, podcasts, articles, and video content. We have 7 teams with over 50 faculty member volunteers developing new content and online training opportunities.
 
Have you joined one of our events this past year? Perhaps you’ve listened to our Spark podcast? Viewed one of our videos on YouTube? We need your help to keep creating this incredible content, and keeping it free to the public! Interested in helping?
 
When you make a gift, you will join the effort to inspire the development of teaching and learning and allow our researchers, scholars, leaders, and clinicians to achieve success as educators. Your gift will support MacPFD to continue to generate new freely available events and maintain an open access digital library.
