Each individual (or each small group) needs to identify a unit supervisor for each unit. You can use the same person/s for every unit, or select different faculty. Use the Info for Supervisors Section of this site to assist with informing your potential supervisor about the role and CE program. Inform the AFC program director (Dr. Tong) of your supervisor, or contact the designated Faculty Leads if you need assistance in selecting one.
Register for the Foundations 1 self-study component
Register for the online modules: Candidates need to register for the self-study online component of this unit by sending a request to: ppi@royalcollege.ca
This introductory portion of Unit 1 is mandatory before progressing through any other unit material. In your email, indicate that you require access to the online component of the Clinical Educator Diploma course. You will be sent a follow-up email once your registration is complete, with further instructions to access the learning environment. Indicate your preference for English or French.
Selecting Unit Supervisors: Think about who in your department would be a good individual to guide and oversee your unit. Once you have thought of one (or more) potential supervisors, please email the diploma director to facilitate a meeting or discussion. If you need some assistance for this, please contact Dr. Chan or Dr. Brandt-Vegas to discuss.
Information about potential supervisors: Since you have to recruit your own supervisors, we will make sure you're armed with all the information you need. At this link is some information you can use for informing potential unit supervisors. This includes confirmation of education contributions in the McMaster system for their role. You should also give them the unit information for their reference, including learning objectives. Please note that formal designation of a Master’s degree is not a required element for a supervisor. More important is an individual’s experience as an educator, ideally within your specialty area.
We also plan to guide the new group through the FOUNDATIONS unit as a group, aiming for completion of this unit by the end of December. New candidates will participate and anyone from last year who wishes to participate is welcome to join us.
Thereafter, each unit should be completed in a maximum 6-month time frame. Please see this page about how to move through the units.
Hot Topics will be once a month on the second Wednesday of the month between September to May. The sign up list is here Hot Topics
