The Island Medical Program (IMP) offers Faculty Development learning opportunities designed for physicians who work in a teaching capacity in clinical or didactic environments.
What Faculty Development Opportunities Does the IMP Offer?
Teacher Certificate Program
The Teacher Certificate Program (TCP) is a provincially based virtual program open to all educators at the UBC MD Undergraduate and Postgraduate Program’s distributed sites, including the IMP. This program aims to equip teachers in medical education with the foundational knowledge and skills to teach effectively. TCP is divided into two programs:
- TCP 1: Foundational Teaching is designed to cover core teaching and assessment competencies for those who teach in the MD Undergraduate Program (MDUP) and Postgraduate Medical Education Program (PGME).
- TCP 2: Complementary Topics with a Clinical Teaching Focus provides additional topics that continue to explore important teaching concepts.
