The Academy's Foundational Skills Workshops are immersive, hands-on sessions designed to equip early-career educators (e.g., residents, novice educators) all the way through seasoned faculty with essential skills in teaching and curriculum design. They are offered throughout the year with a changing curriculum.
Participating will help educators and scholars strengthen their instructional skills, broaden and cultivate relationships that support continued professional development. Foundational Skills Workshops are a cornerstone offering for Associate Fellows and a stepping stone toward advanced roles in health professions education.

WHAT OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE TO SAY
Learning that makes an immediate impact.
"The winter [2024-25] program was a great experience and provided a lot of great insights. As someone who teaches residents but did not themselves go to medical school, it’s valuable to understand current thinking on best practices for teaching of medicine. Even though much of the Academy’s offerings have been focused on undergraduate medical education, they have provided great value and informed my educational efforts within our department."
Kimball Aaron Geno, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
"Sessions were incredibly beneficial to my own growth as a medical educator – I was able to immediately apply lessons learned from several sessions to providing more robust learner feedback, facilitating learners leading serious illness conversations and creating curricula for resident learners."
David M. Haughey, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine
"I am a physical therapist at Heater road, transitioning shortly to the 2L clinic. I have been a PT for 18 years and worked in both acute care, the ED and outpatient here at Dartmouth. Recently I was asked to help mentor a Geisel medical student with his Swigart Fellowship project as it pertains to rehabilitation professions. Because of this, I was referred to the Geisel academy, which I am LOVING! I am starting the bootcamp and in just 3 courses have gleaned some wonderful ideas/ through pattern changes etc."
Hannah Zajac PT, DPT, NCS, Board Certified Neurological Specialist
