From the Program Director, Michael Wiederman, PhD
For the first 20 years of my career I was a successful clinical psychology professor, invested in improving my teaching. The field of educational psychology has much to offer in the way of what works (and doesn't work) in clinical education. In the process of working as the director of leadership and professional development at two different medical schools I developed and conducted numerous workshops on effective teaching and learning. I’m excited to extend sharing this experience to a national audience. I hope you decide to join us, and become a better educator over the course of just a few months.
