Link to Apply: CTSS Honors Certificate Program Application
WHAT is CTSS: Monthly seminars mostly on the first Wednesdays of the month at 5:15 pm – 6:15 pm with food. (The first seminar is longer to provide an overview of curriculum development – some small group work) Seminars are on topics of curriculum development and research methods in medical education. CTSS is an interprofessional and interdisciplinary community of educators that draws upon collegiality and mentorship to create, deploy, and evaluate your teaching/education project. This works best if you have a project to anchor your work through the CTSS seminars.
WHAT is the Honors Scholars Certificate Program: Those who apply (detail a project that you will be working on during the year) attend 7 seminars in one year (or 10 seminars in two years), and present their projects at either the annual conference or the CTSS last session.
WHO Can Attend: All are welcome. All faculty, fellows, residents, medical students, and staff with an interest in medical education. This is an interdisciplinary medical education community for those in and around Stanford to support scholarship and curricula in and around the clinical environment. Those affiliated with Stanford are welcome.
