KINETIC3 Teaching Academy | Kern Institute | Medical College of Wisconsin

KINETIC3 is a faculty development program which provides foundational and transformational training for medical educators in teaching competence, character and caring in medical education, and entrepreneurial-minded learning, using an interactive classroom. Great emphasis is placed on fostering the skills needed for the 21st century medical educator, building a community of highly-skilled educators at MCW, and promoting faculty and student well-being.

Academy Information

The KINETIC3 curriculum runs the course of a year beginning each July. The program prepares faculty to innovate, produce scholarship, and become leaders in educating across the medical continuum. Each participant chooses an educational capstone project to work on throughout the program and receives mentored support.

This year's KINETIC3 program will offer two distinct tracks: Excellence in Teaching and Medical Educator. Both tracks will present a curriculum featuring evidence-based, learner-centric teaching strategies, and promoting active learning. Applications are open to all MCW faculty, senior residents and fellows, graduate students, and advanced practice providers.

Track 1: Excellence in Teaching
The goal of this year-long track is to equip participants with teaching skills for the classroom and/or bedside. Our core “3Cs” curriculum will be complemented by direct teaching observation, in which experienced coaches will identify real-time opportunities to strengthen teaching skills and provide constructive feedback to participants. This track will culminate in creation of a peer-mentored teaching portfolio for each participant. The time commitment for this track is estimated at approximately 5 hours/month.

Track 2: Medical Educator
The goal of this two-year long track is to develop medical educators with skills in educational scholarship and pedagogy. Participants will produce a medical education capstone project guided by a structured educational research and human-centered design curriculum and will be assigned a faculty mentor. This “creating value” curriculum will be delivered in 5, boot-camp-style, 1-2-day sessions and will be complemented by our longitudinal, monthly “3C’s” curriculum, in pedagogy, medical professional identity formation and character education. This intensive track is suggested for faculty and senior residents and/or fellows interested in a career as a medical educator and will require approximately 10-12 hours/month.

Apply Here Before March 26, 2021!

Applicants will be notified of acceptance by May 2021, and orientation will begin in July 2021.
