Who is it for?
The initiative is designed for individuals in any role in health professions education at UBC who want to apply a scholarly lens to considering an educational issue of importance across the health disciplines, and who would benefit from working within a collaborative, cross-professional team to advance their learning, leadership, scholarship, practice, or research.
You need not have an identified team in place to participate in this initiative! In fact, the goal is to help in linking you with others who share your interests and concerns.
How does the initiative work?
The initiative is offered in partnership through the Centre for Health Education Scholarship, the Faculty of Education, and the College of Health Disciplines, and is overseen by a leadership group with representation from across the health professions.
It works to cultivate the development of two types of cross-professional “project teams” in the formative stages: Learning Teams that enable scholars from across health professions to come together to advance their knowledge about a shared question or issue; and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Teams (SoTL) that support scholars in early stages of shaping a collaborative research or SoTL project.
Across an academic year, project teams’ learning and planning will be nurtured by: (a) facilitating and supporting team meetings; and/or (b) enabling access to resources (e.g., scholarly expertise; relevant literature; existing support structures). The goal is to nurture the development of sustainable collaborations or networks that will continue to thrive beyond the initiative.
