The MCG Medical Teacher's Handbook
MedEdPORTAL ID#: 450
Resource Type: Faculty Development Materials
Description: Medical school educators typically have extensive knowledge in the area of their professional discipline, but little or no formal training in educational theory or techniques. Their demanding clinical, teaching, and/or research responsibilities leave them little time for improving their own educational skills by attending scheduled courses or workshops. This short handbook was written to provide brief, practical, useful information on teaching, learning, evaluation, and career development for medical school faculty who have interest, but a limited background, in formal educational theory and methodology. The handbook is targeted primarily for those who teach medical students. It should be especially helpful to faculty who are beginning their teaching careers, and those who are assuming more of a research or leadership role in medical education. This handbook is also intended to be a resource on educational theory and principles that they can consult at their leisure.

FACULTY DEVELOPMENT – PRESENTATION and Graphical skills
Presentation Skills Assessment Tools
MedEdPORTAL ID#: 7930
Resource Type: Faculty Development Materials
Description: These interactive assessment tools take less than five minutes to complete and are designed to measure presentation effectiveness by SELF evaluation or by PEER evaluation. The tools have been assessed with 1,280 speakers across different professions. It has been determined that there are 21 desired skill categories as perceived by two different types of audiences, STUDENT LEARNERS and PROFESSIONAL LEARNERS. Our research findings indicate that students and professionals value the 21 skill categories differently. Each assessment tool summarizes the results (Speaker Index) of all skill categories. Further, it calculates the index according to different types of learners (students, professionals and both). For example a professor may give a lecture in medical school and later give the same lecture as a continuing education to colleagues. These audiences have different needs and the assessment tool will help the presenter in identifying his/her challenges for future improvements. Three evaluation forms are as follows:STANDARD - for lectures, presentations, or seminars, where the presenter is seen and has accompanying slides. SPEECH-ONLY - for lectures or speeches, where the presenter is seen but does not have accompanying slides WEBINAR - for lectures where the presenter cannot be seen, only heard, and has accompanying slides.
