There are myriad ways to teach and myriad ways to learn; but whichever methods you choose, you are either doing it mindlessly or mindfully.
Based on the distillation of five decades of research at Harvard, this workshop introduces tutors to some of the myths undermining the learning process. We shall explore how to harness the principles and power of mindful learning in the context of undergraduate medical education to, for example, increase attention, improve retention and reduce boredom.
WARNING : Your teaching may never be quite the same again.

Exploring the psychodynamic and systemic factors impacting our work as a medical educators - PM ONLY
