Faculty Development Resources

This podcast features some world-class Canadian Medical Educators:

This highly successful series of Case Based Faculty Development. Over 40 cases based on different clinical and non-clinical scenarios, all freely available to download as PDFs for your faculty development needs. Emergency Medicine originated, but translatable across to other specialties and professions. The ALiEM Team has also converted most of these cases into e-Books (which are also free and open access). Fully aligned with the #FOAMed movement.

The International Clinician Educator blog (sponsored by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada) contains a wide variety of resources for educators across the spectrum.

These free e-books have been created by educators for educators (and trainees) looking to understand how education theories intersect with our world. These e-books are a yearly project by the ALiEM Faculty Incubator program, and are created via a cool alliance with ICE blog. The authors write individual chapters, which are initially posted on ICE for open peer review, and then using the feedback from the crowd, these peer-reviewed books are compiled.

Rumour has it Volume 3 is in development now. And the Volume 4 chapters are now available on ICE for open peer review (help them out by giving feedback in the comments on their posts now).

This is a large collection of videos focused on medical education and medical education research.

The CORAL Collection is a set of materials designed for education committee members, course and program directors, and teachers. These Cells will help people learn some of the most important concepts and principles in medical education so that they collectively and individually may make more informed and we hope better educational decisions and many levels.

 Each Cell is short, discrete, and designed to teach. Each Cell has an introduction, one to three objectives, self-assessments, a section to present the material, a quiz with expert responses, an evaluation so we can get better, references and further reading, and a concept map showing related Cells.
