About the Course
The course is based on the Stanford Faculty Development Program, a train-the-trainer model of improving teaching skills of medical faculty, which launched in 1986.
Dr. Jeremy Smith was trained to run the course in 2003 and has been conducting sessions annually since then. Since 2011, 133 UW School of Medicine and Public Health clinicians have been trained in the program.
