Teaching core competencies in the clinical setting
Frameworks such as CanMEDS and the Scottish Doctor include competencies outside that of medical expertise; these are currently known as the 'intrinsic' roles (communicator, collaborator, scholar, manager, health advocate, professional). Many clinical teachers may find these competencies or metacompetencies more difficult to teach: they may be less familiar with the core content, and they may also be unfamiliar with less commonly-used teaching and learning strategies to develop new skills, form attitudes or change behaviours. Educational strategies such as guided reflection, explicit role modelling, using critical incidents, encounter cards and portfolios add to the teaching toolbox of clinical faculty who must facilitate the learning of all core competencies in the clinical context.

It is essential that you run the Wimba Set Up Wizard well in advance of the webinar in case there are any technical issues which require attention. Please see link below.
You can take as much of an active role in the webinar session as you wish. You can choose to be seen and heard when asking questions, for this you will require a webcam and a microphone, you can choose to just be heard using a microphone, or if you wish you can just sit back, watch and listen. You can of course still interact with the presenter even if you do not have a webcam or microphone using the text area in which you can type questions and responses.
