Description

**Please note that the Stepping Stones program for 2024-2027 is full. Registration for the next cohort will open on March 1, 2025. 
Stepping Stones is a 1-3 year program consisting of both workshops and a journal club. Program goals are:
  • to promote growth and development of individuals in relation to their educational roles, and
  • to provide opportunities for educational networking and collaboration across caring and learning environments.
Workshops are offered on a variety of topics related to the roles Stepping Stones supports – teacher, educator, academic leader, scholar and advocate. Examples of topics include: workplace based assessment, learning theories, curriculum development, mentorship, evaluation, equity and wellness. Stepping Stones follows a flexible, adaptive curriculum and participants choose to attend workshops that meet their needs and interests.
Journal club takes place once a month during Year 1 of the program. Journal club facilitates the integration of workshop content, the broader health professions education literature, and participants’ own education practice.
