The Teaching Scholars Program is a certificate program designed to enhance knowledge and skills, and develop future leaders in healthcare education with a focus on core components of educational scholarship and curriculum development. The program consists of twice-monthly seminars held on the Washington University Medical Campus during the academic year, a curriculum needs assessment, design, or evaluation project completed under faculty mentorship/ guidance, and a capstone presentation event. Topics covered include all phases of curriculum and instruction development, design, and evaluation as viewed within a framework of educational research/scholarship of teaching & learning. Other than the time commitment for attending the sessions, there is no cost for the Program. As part of the application process, applicants must submit a letter from their Department Chair, Division Head, or Program Director that clearly indicates that the applicant will be allowed release time to attend the twice monthly sessions (roughly 4 hours each session), complete the required project, and attend the Kick-Off and Project Presentation Events.
