Educational strategies

Train-the-trainer model • I-PACK is designed for educators, rather than a curriculum packaged directly to learners. I-PACK includes a comprehensive curriculum that experienced educators can use as a scaffold. • I-PACK also contains background materials and detailed instructions to best equip educators to deliver the content.
Modular • I-PACK can be taught as a comprehensive curriculum with all eight modules, or educators can select single modules or even stand-alone elements within a module. • Modular elements allow single modules to be taught as half-day seminars or broken into smaller blocks of time to be used at morning or noon conferences longitudinally, maximizing flexibility.
Modifiable • Educators can choose which components of I-PACK they wish to use to meet specific learning goals, and materials can be adapted as needed. • Each instructor guide includes an overview of each activity, learning objectives, and the required time and related materials to help educators meet an institution’s individual learning needs.
Active learning • In addition to didactic and reading materials, I-PACK uses active learning activities including case-based discussion, instructions for panels, and hands-on advocacy work such as letter and resolution writing.
Adaptable to learner level • Each module has suggestions to adapt for different learner levels, such as medical students, residents, and advanced learners, including practicing providers.
