Clinical Teaching Observation Program

The clinical teaching observation program is s a tool to provide highly meaningful feedback to our clinical teachers as part of an overall program of faculty development. Realizing that most faculty development programs offer general observations and strategies, the clinical teaching observation program is aimed at providing targeted strategies that capitalize on a faculty member’s strengths and opportunities. Beyond providing the faculty member with useful feedback, our team benefits by learning best practices from our faculty while getting a better sense of the learning environment from a clinical educator’s standpoint.
