"We teach what we like to learn and the reason many people go into teaching is vicariously to re-experience the primary joy experienced the first time they learned something they loved."
Stephen Brookfield

"A poor surgeon hurts 1 person at a time.
A poor teacher hurts 130."
Ernest Leroy Boyer


This site was created by
Educational Support and Development as a resource for Medical Faculty around the world.

This is a project under development and Deirdre is currently looking for co-editors.


How The Site Works


There are three main topics at the right divided into sequential subtopics.

If you want to find a particular article, you can access each topic by clicking on the links in the left hand column. Items with an arrowhead drop down to reveal subtopics when clicked.

Alternatively, you can search this site using the box under Home.

Discussion groups work at national meetings on specific topics. They last for an hour; you have networked and meet one or two people you may want to keep in touch with often. However, maybe they are meant to be more one-on-one or with three or four people who meet to work on a grant and can't get to a meeting because its off campus.
