Teaching Scholar Certificate Series
For the 2024-2025 academic year we will offer a teaching and learning certificate series. These will be a 6-8-week hybrid series designed to advance excellence in health professions education by:
- Enhancing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of faculty in health professions education
- Promoting the development of change agents and educational leaders who will promote the scholarship of education at UC Davis Health
- Promoting the personal and professional development of faculty to meet the educational goals, mission, and values of our institution, with the ultimate purpose of providing service and socially responsive and responsible care for the communities we serve
Registration and Certification Processes
Attendees will need to register for individual workshops in the series. Each certificate program will have its own requirement for completion which will be specified for participants. Participants will need to demonstrate that they have completed the required materials within one year to receive a certificate. Participants are not required to obtain a certificate; they are able to simply attend courses for professional development.
