The Program for Academic-Clinical Teaching (PACT) equips health professions educators (e.g., physicians, physician assistants, nursing, rehabilitation sciences, midwifery) with competencies in clinical teaching.
The PACT consists of:
-
Nine (9) units of self-paced, self-directed learning on an asynchronous online platform (10-20 total hours). Each unit consists of a series of readings and a reflection activity.
-
Five (5) synchronous Hot Topics sessions held over Zoom (10 total hours)* with associated summary activities.
* Participants attend five (5) Hot Topics sessions to complete the PACT. Participants choose from eight (8) different sessions; all sessions run from 7:00–9:00 p.m. ET.
* We encourage participants to attend the live sessions as they provide an opportunity for discussion. Those unable to attend will be able to watch a recording in order to complete their summary activity.
* The Hot Topics schedule for 2026–2027 is as follows: October 14, 2026, November 11, 2026, December 9, 2026, January 13, 2027, February 10, 2027, March 10, 2027, April 14, 2027, and May 12, 2027.
* NOTE: Hot Topics are delivered in collaboration with the Clinician Educator (CE) program, an Area of Focused Competency Diploma Program accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. Successful future applicants to the Clinician Educator (CE) program will have their registration fee for PACT contribute towards their CEP registration fee.
While MOC Section 1 and 2 credits can be claimed, individuals who complete the PACT do not receive a CE diploma.
Registration for this course is facilitated by the Continuing Professional Office, and you can sign up here.
