The 2017 cohort of the Certificate in Health Professions Education & Teaching program celebrated the completion of the program with a reception and project presentations on January 22, 2018. The 11 members from all over Duke Health spent 12 months in the second year of the program based around the AHEAD educator competencies. Participants were tasked with creation of a project and met with mentors of different professions throughout the course of the program. Applications are now being accepted for the 2018-2019 program, to launch in July 2018.

Duke Health's Primary Care Preceptor Development Mini-Fellowship Program, administered by the Duke Physician Assistant Program, offers clinician educators a unique opportunity to learn from expert faculty at one of the nation's leading academic medical centers.

The goal of the program is to equip preceptors to become effective clinician educators who can develop and implement curricula and facilitate group Quality Improvement (QI) projects that will address the needs of vulnerable populations in North Carolina.

REGISTRATION CLOSED 

We are pleased to announce the creation of the Education Research Workshop Series, funded by Duke AHEAD.  This workshop series, led by Drs. Ashley Grantham, Deborah Engle, and Kyle Covington, is designed to provide participants with an introduction to education research design, methodology, and implementation with a specific focus on education research within the health professions.   

Three scholarships are available for the nationally-recognized “Teaching and Leading Evidence-Based Medicine” Workshop, which will be held at Duke Medicine from April 24-27, 2018. These scholarships are reserved for residents, fellows, and faculty who can bring Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) back to Duke academic and residency programs. The workshop focuses not only on practicing EBM, but also on teaching EBM, making it an ideal educational opportunity for rising chief residents or faculty involved in teaching residents and/or students. 

ACH will host its co-located ENRICH Communication Course and Research Forum at the Hilton Downtown in Tampa, FL. These programs bring together 200+ healthcare professionals to engage in intensive communication training or to hear the latest research and teaching methods in the field of healthcare communication. The ENRICH course and the Research Forum are two separate programs (see descriptions below for each).
