Effectively Observing Procedural Skills w/ Anna Brandt, MSEd
This is a virtual event.
Join us for Med Ed Grand Rounds: Effectively Observing Procedural Skills, a session designed for faculty and educators committed to advancing clinical training in medical education. Procedural skill development is a cornerstone of competency-based medical education, yet observing and teaching these skills can present unique challenges.
In this interactive session, we will:
- Discuss the importance of directly observing and teaching procedural skills, and identify common barriers to effective practice.
- Describe best practices and evidence-based strategies for observing and teaching procedural techniques in the clinical environment.
- Explain methods to encourage reflective practice among learners as they develop procedural competence.
Whether you supervise procedures in the clinic, the simulation center, or at the bedside, this session will provide practical tools and insights for fostering learner growth and elevating procedural education.
