Academic clinicians are increasingly in demand because they bridge the gap between clinical practice, research, and education in health care. They play a central role in training future healthcare providers, enhancing clinical standards and patient care, and advancing medical research, among other benefits. They also help address physician shortages and burnout – a current challenge in Canada.

The Microcertificate in Clinical Teaching for Academic Clinicians validates hands-on teaching strategies specific to the clinical environment, utilizing interactive methods and structured feedback on how to engage learners and enhance essential clinical skills. Participants are also assessed on culturally appropriate communication skills that demonstrate respect for diverse perspectives in teaching and learning environments.

Each microcredential includes practical and reflective elements to support continuous teaching development. By completing this microcertificate, clinicians will earn digital badges they can display to show that they are well-rounded, impactful educators prepared to lead and inspire within clinical settings.
