Following the first plenary, education innovation award faculty recipients Kristen Knepp, Ph.D., Mariquita Belen, M.D., and Rachel Bracken, Ph.D., (pictured, from left) presented their projects and provided some practical advice for those considering submitting an award application.
The afternoon continued with an in-person workshop focused on assessing hard-to-assess objectives, facilitated by Sara Kosiba, Ph.D., and Heather McEwen, MLIS, MS.
The day’s events concluded with a Zoom plenary speaker, Katherine Walsh, M.D., FACP, associate professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, who presented on clinical teaching tips related to observation, assessment and feedback.
