SUMMARY:Creating the professional biosketch that gets you noticed!
DESCRIPTION:The needs for a healthcare professional to have a current biosketch are many. Conference planners review biosketches when selecting speakers.  Moderators use biosketches when introducing speakers. Colleagues use biosketches when referring professionals.  Many appointment considerations begin with a biosketch. \nWriting a biosketch that gets a person noticed is both an art and science.  Through this presentation\, attendees will gain a better understanding of what material to include in the biosketch that highlights the individual’s talent. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar | How to Engage Silent Learners
DESCRIPTION:Many of us learn best in silence and need time to reflect before saying or writing our thoughts. In synchronous online meetings (and in physical meetings) we often mistake visual and vocal activity for engagement and learning\, while silence is interpreted as a lack of interest or even laziness. \nBecause synchronous meetings tend to be dominated by a vocal minority\, contributions are mostly spontaneous with little time for reflection. There are many reasons people are silent in class or in a meeting. We must develop new methods to allow quiet attendees to present their ideas and engage in discussion instead of being drowned out by their more outspoken colleagues. \nBreakout groups can be very rewarding but only if you already know the rest of the group or have a group of confident\, talkative participants. Many students simply leave the meeting when breakout groups are announced. This is not typically due to a lack of interest but a fear of discussing complex issues with a group of strangers. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn how online tools and methods can extend the discussion to engage all participants in the way that suits them best. Simple techniques to make online meetings more inclusive include using more silent reflection time\, written discussion and greater emphasis on the asynchronous activity before and after the synchronous session. \nKey takeaways \nYou’ll come away with a better understanding of how to: \n\nIdentify and understand reasons for silence in online meetings\nUse periods of silence in online meetings to foster reflection and widen the discussion\nCreate engaging and inclusive online activities that do not always depend on video and audio\nPromote the strengths of silent learners through more multimodal online activities\nStretch the meeting through the use of collaborative online tools\nCreate the right preconditions for fruitful breakout sessions\n\nFacilitated by:  Alastair Creelman | e-learning Specialist\, Linnaeus University\, Sweden (now retired)

SUMMARY:IAMSE Webinar -Breaking Barriers for Racial/Ethnic Groups Underrepresented in the Health Professions
DESCRIPTION:  \nUnderrepresentation of Black\, Indigenous\, and people of color (BIPOC) in the health professions limits the U.S. health care system’s ability to meet the needs of people in these racial/ethnic groups. A growing body of research shows that patient-physician concordance of race\, language\, and social characteristics strengthen the patient-physician relationship through higher levels of trust and satisfaction. This webinar will describe the barriers that BIPOC persons face in pursuing health professions education\, present a framework for conceptualizing strategies for improving recruitment\, retention\, and academic success among BIPOC health professions trainees\, and describe examples of these strategies. The presentation will focus primarily on examples from medicine and the basic sciences. \n  \n  \nSpeaker:  Janet Coffman\, PhD\, University of California\, San Francisco

SUMMARY:IAMSE Webinar - Learning Communities: Creating Structures for Peer Support
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we will describe how Learning Communities can be used to support struggling students. Learning Communities are intentionally formed groups of students and faculty who actively learn from each other while building relationships that enhance support networks. LC programs can assist struggling students in a multitude of ways and can be easily integrated with other student support structures in a medical school. We will describe how this is done at a variety of institutions across the country. \n  \nSpeakers:  Caroline Harada\, MD \,University of Alabama Birmingham \nLauren Parker\, MA \,University of Kansas School of Medicine \n  \n

SUMMARY:IAMSE Webinar - The Off-Cycle Curriculum: Intention vs. Impact
DESCRIPTION:The current landscape of undergraduate medical education provides foundations at varying depths of knowledge that will not only be needed for board examinations but also progressively needed for the clinical years as well. The ongoing challenge of undergraduate medical education is displayed by curriculum calendars and the volumes of content consumed by students and produced by schools. These challenges manifest themselves in a small percentage of students failing to meet the minimal competency and then being asked to repeat a year or a course. Awareness of the many influencing factors on the curriculum illustrates the need for a bridge to help the struggling student but also provides the tools\, time\, and resources to ensure the student is able to be successful moving forward. \nThe offering of the off-cycle curriculum is a mechanism for allowing students in the DO program an opportunity to complete the pre-clinical portion of the DO curriculum in 3 years instead of the traditional 2 years. The offering of this program is strictly voluntary and cannot be required for student participation. The off-cycle curriculum offers the student an opportunity to significantly improve course performance outcomes by decelerating a required portion of the curriculum. The decelerated pace of progressing through the curriculum allows the student to learn the material and create new habits to become a lifelong learner. Although this differs from the traditional Flexner model\, it takes into consideration the type of students who are matriculating into our medical school program. These students range from the students newly progressing from their undergraduate studies to the student who is progressing from the workforce. This curriculum is a chance to establish the foundation needed to not only matriculate through medical school but also become a successful physician. Any student who is enrolled in the off-cycle curriculum must successfully complete all required courses of the first and second preclinical curriculum. Upon decelerating\, students in the off-cycle curriculum will delay their graduation by one year\, and are subject to revisions in curriculum requirements and changes in tuition and fees of their new graduating class. \n  \nRobert  Walker\, PhD| Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

SUMMARY:Webinar - How to Reach (Almost) All Learners with Universal Design for Learning
DESCRIPTION:As technology-mediated learning becomes part of the new normal across college and university curricula\, it’s important to interact with students in a way that supports their continued learning\, shows compassion and flexibility for varied circumstances\, and fits within existing time and prep demands. \nThis webinar shares low-effort “do-them-right-now” design techniques that reduce student anxiety and pressure\, reduce your instructor colleagues’ frustrations (and your own)\, and allow you to focus on engaging student interactions\, especially for those living in small\, rural\, remote and Indigenous communities. \nKey Takeaways \nThis interactive webinar session explores techniques and strategies backed by neuroscience research that shows how colleges and universities can lower barriers (and why they should) for students\, faculty and instructors. They include: \n• Access to materials\, interactions and people (in the course and beyond)\n• Assessment techniques: testing\, grades and feedback\n• Engagement strategies that make students more likely to stick with their studies despite the challenges \nHost: Dr. Thomas J. Tobin\, Teaching\, Learning\, & Technology Specialist II\, Center for Teaching\, Learning\, & Mentoring at The University of Wisconsin-Madison

SUMMARY:Research Posters: Turning Drab into Fab
DESCRIPTION:We’ve seen them…we’ve made them…and we’ve walked right past them…Research Posters. \n  \nThe purpose of a research poster is to visually represent the general overview\, data\, and most relevant findings of a research project. When preparing to design your poster you’ve likely taken your thoughtful research or well-drafted manuscript and you’ve widdled it down to the bare bones with just a few remaining sentences; next you probably chopped those sentences into bullet points and then plopped those well-crafted statements into a sterile three-or-four column template\, adorned with some sort of chart\, cladly themed in the university colors. \n  \nWe’ve been using the same academic research poster templates for the last three decades. Why? \nScience has advanced tremendously since the 90’s\, why hasn’t research poster design? \n  \nIn this session\, we will: \n\ndiscuss research poster basics\ncritique traditional poster design\napply updated design techniques\nrecognize better poster design 2.0\nexplain where to go for help

SUMMARY:Webinar | Enhanced Learning in the New Digital Classroom  (Educause)
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 2020\, the COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions at all levels to switch instruction almost overnight to virtual classrooms. With scant time to marshal their resources\, officials in K–12 schools and higher education had to figure out how to deliver curricula\, share materials\, foster collaboration\, and keep students engaged. \nGiven the number of teachers who lacked experience with distance learning and the many students who lacked access to the necessary technology\, schools faced significant challenges. Since then\, educators have learned a great deal about how to deliver instruction in a hybrid learning environment. Hear from the Center for Digital Education on recent research and receive a copy of the report. \nOutcomes\n\nReview research highlights from the report “Enhanced Learning in the New Digital Classroom”\nLearn how to help combat fatigue on your campus\nReceive access to the research report
