Workshop Topic: Getting Things Done in the Midst of Chaos

Faculty involved in teaching medical students and residents have a need to
improve their teaching techniques and to understand new conce pts in learning.
A better understanding of academic career development and the issues facing
women and under-represented minorities in academic medical centers will also
help all faculty.


This Colloquium is intended to meet these needs by providing both lectures
and interactive workshops covering a variety of topics. Interactive sessions
with posters by Colloquium par ticipants will foster the interchange of ideas.

After attending the Colloquium, participants will have:
- A clearer appreciation of issues regarding diversity in the academic medical center
- Gained new ideas regarding teaching and learning, from the lecture hall to the bedside
- Developed strategies for mentoring and academic career planning
