Clinician Teachers

Group co-leaders: Dr. John Teshima, Dr. Tracy Sarmiento

Next session: Wednesday May 29, 2024 (12pm-1pm on Zoom)

Topic: Trainees Experiencing Microaggressions & Discrimination

Your trainees can experience microaggressions or outright hostile and discriminatory interactions with patients, families, and other health professionals.  As a supervisor, we will discuss how can you support them and what your responsibilities are.

The Department of Psychiatry Mentorship Program in partnership with the Department of Psychiatry Office for Faculty Development is offering a community of practice group for Clinician Teacher faculty to support career development needs.

The content and process of this group will be determined by the attendees. Possible topics that could be addressed include:

  • Choosing and maintaining a career pathway
  • Negotiation, choosing priorities/options, and self-advocacy skills
  • Programs and opportunities to develop teaching skills
  • Promotion pathways for clinician teachers, including tips for success and how to put together a dossier
  • Effectively supporting trainees
  • Processing and managing negative evaluations
  • Addressing issues of equity, diversity and inclusion in my teaching
  • Wellness and establishing a network for support & shared reflection
