This body of work widens the scope of our collective vision beyond learners and healthcare providers as independent with distinct expertise.

This workshop provides a framework for embedding equity, diversity, and inclusion into CPD instructional design and delivery. We discuss how to create equitable, accessible and inclusive learning environments through the application of a health equity and inclusion framework.

This workshop introduces key strategies related to teaching in the clinical setting. Participants will learn how to apply strategies to enhance the educational climate and compare/contrast different preceptorship models. We discuss the importance of transparency and non-hierarchical teaching approaches.

The workshop explores the reasons for conducting surveys as well as how to optimize alignment between survey methods, scholarly questions, and research paradigms. Participants will be introduced to best practices for question development, survey administration, data analysis, and interpretation.

Please participate in BPER Reads, our annual "Battle of the Papers"! We begin this October with 5 scholars championing one paper of the past academic year they feel every health professional educator must read.

This workshop engages participants in reflective activities and discussions about desirable and undesirable professional behaviours and the bi-directional relationships that exist between these behaviours, healthcare professional wellness, and the creation of psychologically and culturally safe environments.

This virtual community event is for CFD members to come together to during a lunch and learn to discuss emerging curiosities, questions and tensions within health professions education on the topic of the month.

This workshop will provide participants with opportunities to practice new techniques that will help them be calmer, clearer and more confident when dealing with learners in difficulty.

Are you new to curriculum design or looking to refresh your knowledge? This interactive session is ideal for those stepping into education roles or exploring curriculum development.

In the academic health sciences systems we work in, we are constantly adapting to new knowledge, ideas, changing environments and emerging needs. In these dynamic environments, how do we influence or lead intentional change that has the impact we hope for? In this workshop, we will explore an approach to leading inclusive, sustainable change.

This workshop provides participants with the opportunity to both explore wellness tensions and identify ways to address them. Participants identify where tensions exist for their own roles that impact wellbeing and discuss approaches to ‘navigating’ these tensions.

Are you someone who is in a leadership role or responsible influencing people/change and looking to enhance the performance or support the development of another in the areas of teaching, leadership, scholarship and advocacy?

The Wilson Centre and Centre for Faculty Development Atelier: Foundations in Health Professions Education Research is a hands-on primer for conducting research in health professions education (HPE).

Stepping Stones is our foundational program at the CFD, supporting health professionals in their education roles and activities including teaching, education scholarship, advocacy and academic leadership.

The program is designed for people in an academic health science context who are committed to becoming change agents in their spheres of influence and beyond by centering principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, Indigeneity and accessibility in their leadership practice. This program is intended for those who are committed to challenging the status quo, and looking to develop tools, skills, and evolving practices to positively shape our future academic health sciences system.
