Teaching Skills for Community Based Preceptors is now available in cIRcle, UBC’s digital repository!
This is a short booklet developed by the physicians in the Office for Faculty Development. It was designed to help faculty to teach more effectively in the clinical setting.
The content reviews principles and practical tips for preparing to teach, teaching around patient cases, giving effective feedback and evaluating students. It reviews many practical teaching skills such as: orientation of the learner, task specific teaching, the one minute preceptor, the OPEN model for providing feedback. The booklet can be read in approximately 20 minutes or one can flip through the quick tips for a brief overview of the principles.
A sampling of the questions answered and topics discussed include the following:
What is an effective clinical teacher?
The Learning Cycle
Preparing to Teach
Teaching with Patients
Observations, feedback & assessment
A handy “Clinical Teaching Survival Guide” and a “Competency Teaching Checklist for Clinicians” are also included in this booklet.

Mark your calendars!
– October 18-24, 2010 –
UBC is once again participating in the International Open Access Week event, where the research and academic community worldwide come together to share and learn about open access and other connected global open scholarship movements.
UBC’s own event – Open Access Week @ UBC – showcases a week of diverse events highlighting areas of open scholarship that UBC’s researchers, faculty, students and staff participate in. These events include discussion forums, lectures, seminars, workshops, and symposia on topical and timely issues from every discipline. We invite everyone to participate either by organizing events, highlighting events already coinciding with the Week, or attending the events to be scheduled.
All of these events are FREE and open to the public, students, faculty, staff and schools.

UBC Winter Games Event Series: Pecha Kucha and more coming to cIRcle!
From sport research and student involvement in the games, to UBC’s own Olympic tradition, the Pecha Kucha is a unique forum where the UBC community can participate in a visual dialogue on this broad topic. We invite you to come and learn about the vast array of UBC Olympics related activities in this high impact, visually stimulating format.
Originally devised by architects in 2003, Pecha Kucha was conceived as a place for young designers to meet, network and show their work in public. Each presenter allowed 20 images, and each image is shown for 20 seconds. Presentations are concise, which gives more people the chance to share their ideas, make thoughts visible, and create a crucible for meaningful conversation.
