Topic: Opportunities to Improve as a Teacher and Educator
There are many opportunities to improve your skills and knowledge as teachers and educators. These can range from individual consultations, to single workshops, to longitudinal programs that go into more depth. This session will focus on how to identify your own personal needs and what resources are available for your own further development.
The Department of Psychiatry Mentorship Program in partnership with the Department of Psychiatry Office for Faculty Development is offering a community of practice group for Clinician Teacher faculty to support career development needs.
The content and process of this group will be determined by the attendees. Possible topics that could be addressed include:
- Choosing and maintaining a career pathway

- Programs and opportunities to develop teaching skills
- Promotion pathways for clinician teachers, including tips for success and how to put together a dossier
- Effectively supporting trainees
- Processing and managing negative evaluations
- Addressing issues of equity, diversity and inclusion in my teaching
