UGME Facilitator Professional Development Series (2026)
UGME Facilitator Professional Development Series (2026)
UGME Facilitators are central to student success at the TMU School of Medicine. Based on feedback from the 2025–26 academic year, we have designed a comprehensive professional development curriculum to support you in your role, build a strong community of practice, and foster safe, inclusive learning environments.
Program Overview & Expectations Our curriculum combines flexible asynchronous learning with interactive, skill-building workshops:
Curriculum Orientation: Essential course-specific training delivered asynchronously via video, with synchronous virtual Q&A sessions.
Small Group Facilitation Skills: Hands-on workshops focusing on core facilitation techniques (101), managing difficult EDIA conversations (102), and advanced tips and tricks (103). To promote practical skill application and peer connection, core modules are delivered in person, with alternative session dates available throughout the year.
Human Rights Training: Delivered in person by TMU’s Human Rights Services (HRS) team, this mandatory 2-hour session equips facilitators with core knowledge regarding the Ontario Human Rights Code, institutional policies, and strategies to prevent and address discrimination and harassment in medical education.
Please review the table below for module details, delivery formats, and mandatory requirements for Year 1 and Year 2 facilitators. Additional dates for the winter semester will be added once current sessions are complete.
