The Health Educators & Academic Leaders (HEAL) curriculum provides a foundation in best teaching practices, educational scholarship, and academic leadership to health professionals in training.
The HEAL curriculum is designed to allow health professional trainees and students the opportunity to develop essential skills as educators before transitioning into their careers.
Objectives
- To disseminate excellence in teaching and education scholarship among health professions trainees
- To foster an interprofessional practice community among health professional trainees passionate about education in the health professions
- To promote further collaboration in healthcare provision and to extend that collaboration beyond the bedside
- To develop future leaders in health professions education, education research, and administration
Overview
The HEAL curriculum is divided into two tiers to accommodate variability in learner interest, career aspirations, and time.
- The Foundations program includes four 1-credit courses comprised of a series of seminar-workshops, faculty mentorship, relevant readings, and contributions toward a teaching portfolio.
- The Advanced program adds three asynchronous courses from the Masters of Health Professions Teaching and Technology program. Upon completion, participants will have earned the program’s Post-Baccalaureate Certificate.
Implementation Plan
The HEAL curriculum is set for its pilot year in Fall of 2021. In order to best accommodate its participants and to ensure their success, the participation in the curriculum pilot will be limited. Applications are now being accepted via the following link: https://unmc2021.liaisoncas.com/. Due date for completion is March 14, 2021.

“…health professionals are expected to assume the role of teaching others in their daily practice, whether their audience consists of patients and families, fellow colleagues, or students as prospective members of a given profession. However, very few members of the health disciplines have ever been educated on the principles of teaching and learning to successfully and securely carry out their role as educator”
