Faculty Development

The Clinical Teaching Seminar Series (CTSS) is a joint faculty development program of the Surgery, Emergency Medicine, and Anesthesia departments. The Series is a once monthly seminar on core topics within medical education, presented by content experts to a multi-disciplinary audience across all levels. For the first time this year, we are also offering an Honors Certificate in Medical Education for participants who attend a majority of the Seminars and complete and present a scholarly project in medical education. In our inaugural year, we have 50 Honors Scholars from ten disciplines, ranging from interns to program directors and hospital administrators. All of the Seminars are open for anyone, whether or not they are participating in the Honors Certificate.
