Physician Educator Certificate Program (PECP)
The Physician Educator Certificate Program launched in 2016 after seeing the need and benefits to developing confident resident educators. To date, more than 260 residents and fellows have successfully graduated from the program and many hold academic positions at various institutions in the US and around the world.
Residents and fellows have significant teaching responsibilities but they seldom receive formal training on effective teaching. Given the importance of teaching and requirements of the LCME and ACGME, developing effective teaching skills is needed. Not only does this certificate program fulfill accreditation requirements, the purpose of the program is to improve teaching skills of residents and fellows and prepare trainees for their academic career. The goal is for residents and fellows to have greater teaching confidence and experience job satisfaction.
The Physician Educator Certificate Program is an 8-month program. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month from 12:00pm – 1:00pm.
