LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 21, 2021 - The Medical Student Alliance for Global Education, or MeSAGE, released its newest collection of Rx Bricks, devoted to "The New Educator." This set of free and open access digital learning modules covers the critical area of medical education.
In the world of medicine, every patient encounter can be seen as a teaching encounter. Medical students learn early on that they must be able to educate patients and their families about diagnoses, lab tests, and treatments. As they become physicians and/or scientists, the opportunities and desire to teach often increase. But teaching is a skill that must be developed.
The New Educator collection was created by an international team of young authors, who designed it for anyone with an interest in teaching and medical education. Topics in The New Educator collection include:
Learning Principles
Teaching Principles
Instructional Design
Assessment and Evaluation
Scholarship in Medical Education
Teaching and Learning in the Classroom
