A Quick Glance at the Interprofessional Teaching Scholars Program
This unique two-year faculty development program focuses on enhancing the knowledge, skills and attitudes of faculty in health professions education and promotes the development of change agents and educational leaders who will affect the culture of education.
Our audience — All levels of faculty members in the medicine and nursing professions. The ITSP curriculum is largely geared to early- and mid-career faculty members but also provides suitable content for advanced-career faculty members desiring to refine and refresh their skills.
Mission — To foster the development of a collaborative and innovative interprofessional teaching and learning community.
Vision — From Teachers to Educators to Educational Scholars and Leaders
What Our Program Participants Say…
I wanted the tools and knowledge to be an excellent educator
I joined ITSP because I wanted the tools and knowledge to be an excellent educator. ITSP provided me a diverse set of educational methods and new ideas that I have already utilized in my courses.
