The UBC Faculty Development Teacher Certificate Program welcomes faculty who teach and assess in the MD Undergraduate Program and Postgraduate Medical Education Program, across all sites.

Program Goal & Structure

The Teacher Certificate Program (TCP) aims to equip teachers in medical education with the basic knowledge and skills to teach effectively. TCP is divided into two programs: 

TCP 1: Foundational Teaching is designed to cover core teaching and assessment competencies for those who teach in the MD Undergraduate Program (MDUP) and Postgraduate Medical Education Program (PGME).

TCP 2: Complimentary Topics with a Clinical Teaching Focus provides additional topics that continue to explore important teaching concepts. While all faculty teaching in MDUP and PGME are welcome, please note there will be emphasis on the clinical teaching environment.

The two programs are entirely separate, with no prerequisites, and can be completed in any order. 

Each track (TCP 1 & TCP 2) consists of five sessions on topics outlined below delivered by experts. Sessions are delivered on Zoom unless specified. When you have completed all five sessions in a series, a completion certificate will be issued. If you miss a session this year, not to worry, we will likely have another session the following year!
