Teaching on the Run

Dr Fiona Lake and her team at the Education Centre, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Western Australia have produced an amazing program to help you become a better educator and clinical supervisor. The success of this program comes from its ability to be run in small groups, at your location, with the help of an experienced facilitator. Participate, facilitate and become a champion of this program in your local setting and see the improvement in how your junior doctors are supported during their training.

The Teaching on the Run package contains all the resources necessary to run these staff development sessions at your location.

What does a Teaching on the Run workshop look like?

Six modules have been developed for the program:

1. Clinical (Bedside) Teaching
2. Skills
3. Feedback and Assessment
4. Supporting Trainees
5. Planning Term Learning
6. Effective Group Teaching

Each module runs for 2-3 hours and can be run alone, or together as part of a weekend package. Modules 4-6 build on the core modules 1-3. Where possible, participants should complete modules 1-3 before attending modules 4-6. The target audience is clinicians who have experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate doctors, but who have had little or no formal teaching instruction.

Each half-day session contributes to CME points from various colleges (RACP, RACS, RANZCR, ANZCA, RACGP, ACEM, RANZCP, RANZCO). In general, facilitators receive a greater number of CME points.

Make Teaching on the Run an essential component of your training program. Encourage all your supervisors to participate and then facilitate sessions. Become a champion for this important program.

NSW IMET is pleased to support the delivery of this program to assist the supervisors of our NSW junior doctors in training. Contact our IMET staff to help you with packaged resources and finding a facilitator.
