Medical Education Workshops Conference Certificate Program

Conference participants are being given the opportunity to earn a Certificate of Achievement through participation in a set of specially-designed workshops. The Department of Medical Education at the Keck School of Medicine of USC offers six interactive workshops each year at IME. The workshop activities are designed to maximize the transfer of knowledge and skills from the workshop setting directly to each participant’s work setting. All registered conference participants can attend any of these workshops. The workshops are aimed at providing participants with the principles and essential skills needed by educators within key roles in undergraduate and graduate medical education settings: teacher, leader, scholar, and mentor.

MedEd Certificate

There is a three-step process to earn your IME Conference Certificate of Achievement after you register for the conference.

Step 1: Enroll online at the link below so that we can track your participation.

Step 2: Attend five MedEd Certificate Workshops over three years during the IME Conference. To receive credit for each workshop you must submit the evaluation and feedback form online or provided in the session. Please make sure to enter your name and reflection on applying a concept covered during the workshop. Since much of the content is delivered during small group breakouts, you must attend the live workshop.

Step 3: Complete an online story form about how you have changed your practice as a teacher, leader, mentor or scholar based on your participation in two of the five workshops you attended. Your story form will be sent to you approximately three months after you complete of your fifth workshop. The time delay will give you a chance to incorporate the information. Each story should be 200+ words. Details will be included in your story form.

Remember, to be eligible to earn a certificate you MUST enroll.

If you believe that you have already completed five workshops over the three years 2021-2023, email us and we will help you complete Step 3. If you have completed less than five workshops over the past two years (2022-2023) and want to apply them toward a certificate, also let us know. You must enroll by clicking the link above.
