SOM Peer Teaching Consultations

Interested in working on your Foundations lectures this year? Want to talk about how they could be better? Consider requesting a Peer Consultation.

  • A peer consultation is done between faculty members in the School of Medicine.
  • It can be one meeting, or a series of two to three meetings.
  • It helps a faculty member strengthen one or more aspects of their teaching and/or helps a faculty member think through and develop an improved lecture.
  • We are committed to a flexible but structured consultation model to focus on what each individual faculty member wants to work on.

Participation in this program is entirely voluntary and confidential. Reviews are available in person or by review of a recorded lecture (with some limitations).

If you are interested in participating, please email Dr. Don Batisky and someone will be in touch with you about your interests. Program sponsored by the Educational Development Sub-Committee of the Executive Curriculum Committee.
