Residency and Fellowship Teaching Certificate
Trainees in academic post-professional programs (e.g., residency and fellowship) are asked to assume responsibility for various teaching activities, frequently without instruction regarding educational theories, instructional methods, or teaching experience. The goal of the Teaching Certificate Program (TCP) is to prepare these professionals to plan and execute both didactic and experiential learning activities using sound principles of instructional design.
Teaching is the act of providing education, guidance, and support to help others learn, develop, and grow intellectually.
