Clinical Teaching Champions

Goals

Strengthen clinical teaching and support a sense of community around teaching excellence at each clinical site and in the division as a whole.

Six Clinical Teaching Champions (CTC) have been selected: an inpatient and outpatient CTC for each of Harborview Medical Center, UW Medical Center, and the VA Puget Sound Medical Center.

CTCs:

Observe and give structured feedback to colleagues (at least 5 per year) in any teaching setting (clinic teaching, wards teaching, formal or informal presentations).
Are enthusiastic about giving and receiving collegial feedback on teaching and facilitating the exchange of best practices in teaching.

Please contact the CTC at your site for feedback on your teaching. You can request feedback on ANY kind of teaching—at the bedside, small group, large lecture, lunch conferences, or anything else.

CTCs welcome all requests for observation and feedback!
