Insights from the New York Teaching Course: Enhancing Medical Education

Welcome to the St. Emlyn's blog! I'm Iain Beardsell, sharing insights from the recent New York Teaching Course, an event organized by Rob Rogers and Saline Rissai. This course brought together educators from diverse backgrounds, including pediatric surgeons, flight nurses, PhD students, and even a veterinarian, all united by the goal of becoming better educators. Notable attendees included Ross Fischer, Ashley Leibig, Sandra Viggers, and Camilla Sauronson, who shared their experiences and key takeaways.

Diverse Expertise and Shared Learning

The New York Teaching Course offered a unique opportunity to learn from a broad spectrum of expertise. Ross Fischer, a Pediatric Surgeon and presentation expert, found it humbling to be sought after for his advice on presentation skills. He highlighted the importance of continual improvement, noting the evolution of presentations over the years. His blog, ffoliet.com, offers valuable tips for enhancing presentation skills, a crucial aspect of effective teaching.

Ashley Leibig, known for her contributions to St. Emlyn's and her work at SMAC, emphasized the value of open communication. She appreciated the honesty in feedback sessions, where participants openly shared their past errors and positive feedback practices. This openness is essential for professional growth and creating a safe learning environment.

Sandra Viggers, a research fellow at the Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation, focused on the power of vulnerability in simulation and debriefing. She found the social events particularly impactful, highlighting a moment where a participant shared a personal story, moving many to tears. This reinforced the importance of sharing and building a supportive community in educational settings.

Camilla Sauronson, a medical student from Denmark and PhD candidate in Tourette Syndrome, valued the inspiring environment of the course. She was particularly interested in innovative teaching methods like the flipped classroom, which involves engaging learners with materials before group discussions. This method fosters active learning and deeper understanding, a shift from traditional lecture-based teaching.

Key Takeaways and Learning Points

The course provided numerous valuable insights and practical lessons:

  1. Flipped Classroom: Camilla Sauronson emphasized the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach, which encourages students to engage with educational content before attending group discussions. This method promotes active learning and enriches classroom interactions.

  2. Constructive Feedback: The feedback session led by George Willis was a highlight, demonstrating the importance of giving constructive feedback. Ashley Leibig noted the challenges in providing good feedback but appreciated the practical pointers provided during the session. Effective feedback is critical for personal and professional development.

  3. Presentation Skills: Ross Fischer underscored the continuous need to refine presentation skills. His insights into slide design and delivery were invaluable, reminding educators of the importance of clear and engaging communication in teaching.

  4. Resilience and Wellbeing: Sandra Viggers reflected on Chris Doty's talk on resilience. Doty discussed recognizing signs of burnout and the importance of self-care. Sandra emphasized the need for educators to be mindful of their own and their learners' wellbeing, highlighting the role of supportive relationships in preventing burnout.

  5. Engaging Lectures: Ken Mills' interactive workshop on evidence-based medicine showcased that lectures can be both educational and entertaining. Using historical figures to illustrate concepts made the session memorable and engaging, demonstrating that education can and should be enjoyable.

Building a Supportive Educational Community

A particularly poignant moment during the course was a participant sharing a deeply personal story during a social event. Sandra Viggers emphasized the significance of vulnerability and the supportive community fostered at the course. This sense of community is vital in emergency medicine and education, where the pressures of the job can be intense. Building strong, supportive networks helps individuals navigate challenges and grow both personally and professionally.

Practical Applications and Future Directions

As the course concluded, participants were encouraged to apply what they had learned in their own teaching practices. Key practical steps include:

  • Implementing the Flipped Classroom: Start by incorporating pre-session materials like podcasts or articles, fostering richer discussions during group sessions.
  • Developing Effective Feedback Techniques: Create a structured approach to giving feedback, focusing on being constructive and empathetic.
  • Enhancing Presentation Skills: Regularly review and improve presentation materials, seeking feedback from peers.
  • Prioritizing Wellbeing: Integrate wellbeing discussions into educational curricula and encourage self-care practices among staff and students.
  • Fostering a Supportive Community: Create opportunities for personal sharing and team-building, strengthening trust and collaboration.

Looking Forward

The New York Teaching Course was an enriching experience, and similar events are planned for the future, including one in Copenhagen before the next SMAC conference. These courses provide more than just educational content; they are opportunities to connect with a global community of educators dedicated to improving their craft.

For more detailed reflections and session summaries, the Scan FOAM website offers comprehensive coverage. Their posts provide a virtual experience of the course, nearly as immersive as attending in person.

Conclusion: A Commitment to Continuous Improvement

The New York Teaching Course reinforced that teaching is not merely about imparting knowledge but about connecting with students, being vulnerable, and continuously improving. Whether you're an experienced educator or just starting, there's always room for growth. Let's carry forward the lessons learned, strive to be better educators, and support our students and colleagues. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and stay tuned for more insights and stories from St. Emlyn's. Keep learning, keep teaching, and be the best educator you can be.
