The Ophthalmology Foundation held a two-day ophthalmic educators course at Joint Shantou International Eye Center(JSIEC) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong as an initiative of the Chinese Women’s Medical Association. Faculty included Drs. Karl Golnik, Gabriela Palis, and Eduardo Mayorga.
Around 150 people attended and and learned principles in what makes an excellent teacher, adult learning principles, lecture skills, flipped classroom, assessment techniques, feedback essentials, faculty and program evaluation, and more.
Dr. Golnik was very impressed with “the organization, participation and enthusiasm of the hosts and participants. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of continued collaboration.”
Participants expressed that they achieved their goal of improving their teaching skills and are now motivated to change their teaching practices. We thank everyone who attended and look forward to future courses with the Chinese Women’s Medical Association.
