Dr. Gunderman's bio
Plenary Topic: Why Genius Still Matters
Workshop Topic: Assume the Learner is a Sphere
Faculty involved in teaching medical students and residents need to improve their teaching techniques and to understand new concepts in learning. A better understanding of academic career development, mentoring, leadership, 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 and posters by Colloquium participants foster the interchange of ideas.
After attending this Colloquium, the participant:
- More clearly appreciates issues regarding diversity and
interprofessional education in the academic medical center. - Gains new ideas regarding teaching, learning, and the technology
available to enhance the experience. - Develops strategies for personal development, mentoring and
academic career planning.
The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry is accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide
continuing medical education for physicians.
