Abstract

Since 1984 the University of British Columbia's School of Medicine has offered teaching improvement project systems (TIPS) workshops on effective teaching techniques; two workshops a year are given for medical faculty members and two a year for residents. The faculty members who conduct the workshops have received training on how to present them. The most powerful learning experience offered by TIPS is the opportunity for participants to present 10-minute teaching segments that are videotaped and later viewed privately by the participants. Eight workshops have been attended by 166 faculty members, and two others have been attended by 42 residents. This project demonstrates faculty development for both the participants and the people who teach the workshops.
