Transforming Health Care Education: The Science of Learning and Art of Teaching
Online | April 1–June 24, 2025
This program will take place online April 1-June 24, 2025.
Transforming Health Care Education: The Science of Learning and Art of Teaching will introduce you to theoretical aspects of learning and the principles of effective teaching, focusing on novel methods to enhance long-term retention and learning. From understanding the basics of neuroplasticity, to the preparation for a Socratic discussion, this 12-week program will enhance your teaching effectiveness.
You will also have the opportunity to apply your knowledge to real-world projects. In the end, participants will develop their own educational initiative, which could be a course, app, systematic review, or a master’s or PhD project. Several alumni have implemented their course projects within their practice to great success.
This program is developed and taught by Dr. Felipe Fregni, a renowned neuroscientist and educator. Leveraging his experience teaching clinical research to over 5,000 clinicians worldwide, Dr. Fregni has crafted this innovative course to transform education in health care. In addition to teaching, he leads a neuroscience laboratory, the Spaulding Neuromodulation Laboratory (in the Department of Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School), and has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from the U.S. government.
