Overview:
Effective teaching and learning methods based on adult learning theory and evidence-based approaches in education are critical to the dissemination of knowledge in endocrinology. This session will cover the science behind adult learning and the practical application in teaching in academic settings, the hospital, in small/large groups or even online. Participants will get the opportunity to put in practice skills learned in this workshop.
