The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine is pleased to announce an exciting new faculty development offering in Chicago, Ill, this fall. On November 20, 2004, STFM will take its successful Faculty Development Series workshop to Loyola University. Typically, these workshops have been offered only in conjunction with national meetings; however, with many faculty forced to limit their travel because of shrinking budgets, STFM is taking this full-day workshop to the Midwest!
We surveyed Chicago-area faculty and developed a local planning committee to guide our curriculum. Based on their feedback, we’re offering a faculty development workshop tailored for the specific needs of faculty in the Midwest. The full-day workshop will offer 2 modules, each filling a half-day unit of instruction: one module for developing presentation skills and a second module for teaching one-on-one. This workshop is particularly suited to those new to academic family medicine as well as those interested in developing the specific skills offered in these modules.
In the Presentation Skills Module, participants will have an opportunity to acquire basic knowledge and entry-level skills in presentation. Each participant will develop a brief presentation and will be videotaped while presenting it to a small group of peers. The small group will provide constructive comments about the video presentation, providing a unique, personalized learning opportunity for all.
In the Teaching One-on-One Module, attendees will explore the characteristics of learners and teachers and learn the microskills model of clinical teaching and how to give meaningful feedback. The goal of this module is to enhance participants’ ability to effectively teach a variety of learners in a clinical setting. CME credit will be available.
The local planning committee and faculty include:
Janice Benson, MD, Planning Committee Chair, Cook County-Loyola-Provident FMRP; Eva Bading, MD, Loyola University; Karen Connell, MS, University of Illinois at Chicago; Pam Derstine, PhD, Cook County-Loyola-Provident; FMRP; Mari Egan, MD, MHPE, Northwestern University; Ed Foley, MD, Mac-Neal Family Practice Residency Program; Judy Gravdal, MD, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Family Practice Residency; Kurt Kurowski, MD, FUHS/Chicago Medical School; Eve Pinsker, PhD, Cook County-Loyola-Provident FMRP; and Patrick Tranmer, MD, MPH, University of Illinois at Chicago.
The National STFM Faculty Development Series Workshop Coordinator is Gregory Smith, MD, UPMC St Margaret Family Practice, Pittsburgh.
This workshop is sponsored by STFM and hosted by the Department of Family Medicine and the Office of Curriculum and Faculty Development, Loyola University, Chicago, Ill, Stritch School of Medicine.

THIS YEAR’S CONFERENCE ON PATIENT EDUCATION TO FEATURE COMEDY LEGEND JERRY LEWIS!
Comedy legend Jerry Lewis will give the opening plenary address on Friday, November 12, 2004, at the Conference on Patient Education in San Francisco, Calif. Mr. Lewis will share the experience of his lifelong battle with pain and most recently, overcoming his life-threatening addiction to certain medications through an inpatient rehabilitation program.
