Medical Education Program: the Use of Reflection in Teaching and Feedback
By Elizabeth Rider, MD, MSW, FAAP, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Tuesday, April 22, 12 - 1:15 PM, Enders Seminar 1
The ability to inspire self-reflection in the learner is emerging as an important skill for clinical teachers. Reflection and feedback are critical teaching methods that can be incorporated into "teaching moments" as well as into more formal teaching sessions. Reflective skills are associated with the ability to develop insight into oneself, to direct one's learning, and to ensure that the clinician can ultimately practice well autonomously. In this interactive workshop we will briefly consider how we teach clinical competencies, and explore the use of reflection in our teaching and feedback. Participants will have the opportunity to learn an efficient model that enhances self-reflection in the learner, strategies to help learners improve interactions with patients, and practical guidelines for facilitating reflective feedback. A syllabus will be provided.
CME credit available to MD faculty.

Would you like to guide a college student in the early steps of preparing for medical school? The Harvard Pre-Medical Society Mentoring Program is interested in matching students with physician mentors to shadow them in a clinical setting. To Nneka Ufere, the Vice President of the HPS, the new undergraduate mentoring program intends "to provide pre-medical students at Harvard with opportunities that will allow them to provide an honest answer as to why they would like to enter the medical profession. What is it like to work in a hospital or other clinical setting? After getting an MD, then what? What are the possible post-medical school paths that one can consider?"
If you would like to participate in the HPS mentoring program, please contact Nneka Ufere, Vice President, Harvard Pre-Medical Society, nufere@fas.harvard.edu, 404-744-5335.
