Off-Campus

This five-day workshop focuses on training science faculty (all levels) to teach with case studies, to write their own cases, and to assess their students' learning with cases. During the final two days of the workshop, all participants are required to teach a case before a student audience using a case they have developed during the workshop. In addition, workshop participants are expected to produce a case study within six months of the workshop for our national, peer-reviewed case collection. Past workshops have included faculty from biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, computer science, mathematics, geology, psychology, anthropology, nursing, science education, dentistry, engineering, medicine, and other science-related disciplines.

The Delaware Health Science Alliance Curriculum and Education Task Force will host “Creating Clinical and Research Teams for the Future: Workshop on Collaborative Education for Clinicians and Scientists”

This workshop focuses on developing skills to write educational grants. The day will include information on how to obtain educational grant funding, setting goals and evaluating an educational program, and developing an application for the DHSA Education Pilot Award. Members of the DHSA Curriculum and Education Task Force will provide mentorship throughout the day, and will work with workshop participants to develop robust educational teams to deliver cutting edge team-based education to future clinicians and scientists, consistent with the changing needs of our healthcare and research organizations.
