| Title | Adult Learning Design in the Development of an Academic Half Day Session |
| Background/Purpose | Post-graduate trainees serve a dual role as learner and practitioner, and their clinical education must be supported by an academic curriculum that meets the objectives of their training program. Concepts of adult learning design that encourage critical thinking and collaboration can enhance the effectiveness of academic sessions for adult learners. |
| Methods | Adult learning principles are described in the consideration of an academic half day session for residents in Pediatrics. Deliberate incorporation of elements of critical learning in a social learning environment can encourage a transformational learning experience for the residents. |
| Results | The model academic session described and the specific components have not yet been presented at the local center, but the underlying philosophy has been used in other teaching sessions. Evaluations from those sessions will be reviewed and collated, and those will be compared to sessions presented in a more traditional manner. |
| Discussion | While specific session described is focused on a single topic, it illustrates adult learning techniques that can be broadly applied across different branches of medicine and different levels of learners. Inclusion of active learning techniques, critical thinking, classroom assessment, and formative evaluation can serve to enhance the academic component of post-graduate medical education. |
