Faculty from 3 colleges presented on the use of TBL with specific courses and groups of learners, from 1st year through residency training. Access the MediaSite recording of the college presentations here.

After our college presenters, the workshop facilitators took over and led a dynamic, interactive, team-based learning session. Below you’ll see pictures of groups working on the Individual Readiness Assessment Test (IRAT) and the Team Readiness Assessment Test (TRAT).

Our Memphis faculty thank Drs. Frank and Farland for coming to Memphis on a cool Spring day!

Ideas coming out of this session included the need for sessions focused on:

  • using MedEdPORTAL
  • TBL 101
  • becoming a facilitator for TBL and not a lecturer

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.
