Collaborative Clinical Education: Success in the 2:1 Model Webinar (SOLD OUT; recording will be available)

The prospect of students returning to the clinic while the COVID-19 pandemic continues may seem overwhelming to students and CIs alike. Collaborative clinical education (a model with more than 1 student per CI) has emerged as one strategy to create a supportive environment for students and CIs through peer learning and guided academic support. This interactive session outlines the evidence supporting benefits of collaborative education for all parties and offers specific tools and resources to structure the 2:1 experience.
