Join colleagues at the TBL workshop scheduled for Tuesday, March 26 from 12:30pm to 5:00pm, GEB A104. Click here to register for the session.
Previous UTHSC programming has focused on explaining team-based learning (TBL) and highlighting its benefits for application in health professions education. This workshop is designed for faculty currently using or implementing TBL, and extends beyond basic understanding of TBL methods. Using a TBL structure, participants will be placed in teams to simulate the readiness assurance process and too discuss cases that address important TBL challenges such as peer evaluation, team assignment, team teaching, and facilitation skills.
Schedule:
12:30-1:00 Lunch
1:00-1:05 Welcome and Overview
1:05-2:20 This Works for Me / My TBL Experience
2:20-2:30 Break
2:30-4:30 Workshop
4:30-5:00 Q&A / Wrap-Up / Discussion
Faculty who’ve tried TBL overwhelmingly stick with it because of how well it works for the type of content and students of today. Come learn more about TBL from and with your colleagues.

If you drew up your list of great challenges, what would be on it?
The diverse gathering of TEDMED attendees – onsite and at simulcast locations such as UTHSC – will be participating in The Great Challenges Program. The idea is to provide America and the world with a comprehensive view of the great challenges.
A proposed list of 50 great challenges of health and medicine have been drawn up [download full brochure here]. During TEDMED, 50 knowledgeable individuals will serve as Advocates for those 50 challenges. The Advocates will circulate among the 1200 onsite attendees and be able to interact with simulcast participants via the TEDMED Connect application.
The 20 final Great Challenges will be decided by a vote – and your vote, as a TEDMED attendee, will count!
In the coming year, multiple strategies will be used continue the dialogue on the selected 20 Great Challenges.
Want to know if the issues on your list of Great Challenges is among the top 50? Visit TEDMED’s Great Challenges Program website!
IMPORTANT! Stay up to date with the TEDMED schedule and interface directly with presenters and the on-site audience by downloading the TEDMED Connect application for iPhones, iPads, and Androids (I can’t locate the app for Androids right now – check the Android app store).
UTHSC is in great company for TEDMEDLive. Check out the map of participating institutions who’ve signed up to receive the TEDMED simulcast.
Sessions at UTHSC are scheduled as follows:
Individuals from the Memphis health care community, medical device manufacturing community, University of Memphis, and others will be joining UTHSC faculty, staff, and students for one or more sessions.
Plan to join your colleagues for an event that will challenge and change your thinking, stimulate innovation and imagination, and inspire us to think about the possibilities in health and medicine. Bring a friend!
RSVP right away if you’re attending the Tuesday evening session so we can plan for beverages/snacks – faculty and staff can go to the HR Training website and select the TEDMED event in the right-hand column. Students, email crussell@uthsc.edu if you plan to attend.
