Announcements

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).

The panel featured Duke faculty and administrators with experience teaching online courses and developing online programs.
