AL&L Medical Educators CERT

ADVANCED CERTIFICATE IN ADULT LEARNING AND LEADERSHIP FOR MEDICAL EDUCATORS


The Teachers College, Columbia University Advanced Certificate in Adult Learning and Leadership for Medical Educators is an innovative new for-credit program designed for forward-thinking medical educators looking to elevate their instructional and leadership skills.

The first of its kind in the greater New York City area, the 10-credit, New York State-approved program will focus on advancing knowledge and mastery in critical areas for medical educators, including adult learning, leadership, facilitation, innovative learning and applied research methodologies. The program has been developed – and will be taught – by the college’s experienced faculty and practitioners in adult learning and leadership. It will concentrate on knowledge and skills that have been identified through research and practice as critical for those concerned with and working in medical education. A team of physician advisors will assist in ensuring the curriculum establishes a powerful bridge between theory and applied practice.
