Faculty Advancing Medical Education (FAME): Leading Small Group Sessions Effectively: Preparation, Educating, and Connecting

Chicago, IL US
February 20, 2018
Faculty Advancing in Medical Education (FAME) is a faculty development program sponsored by the Academy of Distinguished Medical Educators and the MERITS Program (Medical Education Research, Innovation, Teaching, and Scholarship). FAME supports faculty educators by providing resources and training in key conceptual and practical skills in teaching and assessment.
 

Much of clinical and classroom teaching takes place in small groups. A faculty member can use the skills for leading an effective discussion and encouraging active student participation in a variety of instructional formats including case studies, problem-based learning, and small group discussions. This FAME session will begin with an introduction by the facilitator, who will describe the roles and expectations just as we would with learners in real life. 

During this session scholars will:

  • Participate in groups and subsequent debriefings;
  • Interact with expert small group facilitators to address personal facilitation challenges;
  • Discuss and formulate successful strategies for creating, leading and guiding discussions, and for asking and responding to questions.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the characteristics of different kinds of small groups;
  • List two factors for success and two pitfalls to avoid in development of new small group sessions;
  • Describe solutions to challenges of small group learning both in design and group dynamics;
  • Set personal goals for applying the skills learned in this workshop to one's own practice setting.
     

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for faculty members at the University of Chicago and NorthShore University HealthSystem interested in medical education skills.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be able to:

  • Describe how to prepare to lead small groups in a systematic fashion tailored to the needs of a particular group of learners;
  • List basic principles of positive group dynamics;
  • Identify how techniques such as listening, responding, and explaining encourage critical reasoning skills for learners.
