Originally Presented on Thursday, July 23, 2020
💻 Zoom Virtual Event

Virtual Patient Care (VPC) has become a ‘new normal’ in medicine necessitating new skills for training residents in most medical specialties.  In this webinar, a panel of McMaster postgraduate faculty will introduce best practices and learned experience in assessment and feedback of residents in the VPC setting. 

This webinar is the second in a series developed by the McMaster PGME office and MacPFD. The first event will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2020 and is on the topic of setting up your virtual care environment for learners.

At the end of this activity, faculty will be able to:

1.     Describe best practices for providing feedback to residents in VPC setting

2.     Ensure EPAs, Milestones and Field Notes are assessed

3.     Use digital tools for assessment

4.     Understand the resident perspective.

This event was a collaboration between the McMaster Postgraduate Medical Education Office and the McMaster Program for Faculty Development. It is targeted to clinical teachers involved in teaching residents, but all are welcome!
