Rush University's Faculty Affairs Office is equally committed to the student learning experience and the professional development of our faculty. Over the last 5 years, we have partnered with exceptional faculty educators from around the Chicago-land area to provide faculty with intensive training to elevate and enhance their teaching skills. With years of course development and validation, this bootcamp offers evidence-based and highly interactive sessions with large- and small-group break outs.

This three-day CE-eligible bootcamp focuses on key topics necessary for cutting edge interprofessional education: the evolution of learning theories, creating effective objectives and assessments, course organization and delivering constructive feedback to learners, among others.
