Fueling the Educational Mission: Time, Tools and Technology

The 2011 meeting will focus on creative strategies for obtaining adequate time and resources for your educational activities, acquiring tools for effective teaching and professional development, and incorporating technology into your teaching activities. The seminar is highly regarded for providing excellent opportunities to energize ourselves as educators, and to network with other physician-educators actively engaged in the pursuit of excellence in medical education.
