Teaching Physiology On-The-Fly: A Faculty Development Program for Clinical Teachers 2019 is organized by MDI Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) and will be held from Sep 15 - 20, 2019 at Bar Harbor, Maine, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 29 Continuing Medical Education Credits. Target Audience: Educators in Hospital Medicine, General Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and any other physicians who are interested in incorporating physiology based teaching into clinical practice Faculty development will be integrated throughout the course in order to enhance participants’ ability to translate new knowledge into effective teaching. Conference Description: A hands-on comparative physiology-based faculty development program aimed to equip clinician educators with the confidence and ability to integrate physiology and mechanistic thinking into their daily clinical teaching and medical decision making. Participants will conduct actual comparative physiology experiments using aquatic species, designed to enhance understanding of basic physiologic principles in humans. These experiences will be used as a springboard to create teaching scripts that participants can employ in clinical practice. The goal is for participants to develop a renewed confidence in, and take home tangible products for incorporating physiology into clinical teaching. Goals: • To inspire clinician educators to teach physiology on the wards and incorporate mechanistic thinking into their clinical decision making. • To give clinician educators the time and the space to re-familiarize themselves with basic concepts of physiology applicable to the internal medicine wards using hands on comparative physiology experiments. • To give clinician educators durable tools and resources so that they are able to locate and review the physiology and mechanisms of disease processes in their ongoing clinical and teaching roles.
