Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5:00 PM - Friday, January 21, 2028, 6:00 PM

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (0.75 hours), CME-Designated Participation Credit (0.75 hours)

This session focuses on incorporating active learning strategies into medical teaching sessions to enhance learner engagement and retention. Participants will explore techniques such as interactive discussions, case-based learning, and role-playing activities that can be integrated into their teaching. By applying these methods, educators can create a more dynamic learning environment that encourages critical thinking and collaboration. This session is ideal for healthcare educators seeking to enrich their teaching practice with hands-on, learner-centered approaches.
