The CDE Academy Journal Club
‘Behind the Veil: Journeys in Chronic Health Care with Dr Stan Landau and Team’
Dr Stan Landau
CDE Academy Medical Lead and Journal Club facilitator
In demonstrating our commitment to transforming medical education, the CDE Academy has refreshed the traditional ‘journal club’ format. Historically this learning opportunity was passive in the manner in which knowledge was transmitted, and audience participation was usually limited.
To extract the best learning possible from this 60-minute session, we will incorporate many elements grounded in contemporary adult educational practice.
We recognise that adult learners:
- already know much about the field in which they work;
- have professional experiences that are worth sharing with others;
- are motivated to learn new things that interest them and
- will take responsibility for their own learning if given the opportunity.
Modern day learning is grounded in a social context, and some learnings are better when undertaken together.
Our rich and diverse diabetes network is in itself a community of practice. As described by Wenger-Trayner “communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.”
Rather than rely on the expertise of a single ‘sage on the stage’, you as the audience will be an active part of the learningexperience.
In the days before we meet, we will supply you with articles that will provide a backdrop to the discussion.
Read them. Reflect on them…
Then, come to the session with your thoughts and questions prepared, ready for a group-wide discussion facilitated by our hosts and their expert guests. The articles chosen will cover topics that are in the domain of diabetes medicine right now and have a bearing on your clinical practice.
We envisage that the social nature of the sessions will in part mirror your own team-based practice, where various disciplines connect and share learnings with the intention of producing the best and safest client outcomes.
