Distance Medical Faculty Training Program

Abstract

We present a distance training program for medical faculty based on various reference frameworks reported in the literature. The program aims to develop five basic skills: planning teaching, educating in the clinical setting, facilitating learning, teaching professionalism and medical ethics, and assessing learning. The program consists of the following modules: The Medical Educator and Didactic Planning, Clinical Teaching Strategies, Learning Strategies, Attitudinal Content Teaching Strategies, Evaluation Strategies, and The Reflective Practice of the Medical Educator. The instructional design and production were carried out on the Moodle platform, aimed at enabling faculty to understand the content, apply it in their teaching practice, and reflect on its usefulness for resident learning. As part of the program, the roles of tutors participating in its implementation are defined, as their work is essential to facilitate, provide feedback, and motivate participants’ learning.
