YOUR RESOURCE FOR ONBOARDING NEW CLINICAL FACULTY
Equip your new and transitioning clinical faculty with the right tools to succeed as dental educators with the Fundamentals of Clinical Education program (FCE).
Are Your Students Receiving Consistent Feedback?
Calibrating clinical faculty is essential to providing a quality education to students. However, onboarding new and transitioning clinical faculty is often difficult. We understand how challenging it can be to support the development of your new or part-time faculty, especially if your team is working remotely or in a hybrid style. If your team is trying to find creative ways to:
- Provide consistent instruction and feedback to students
- Promote fairness and transparency in assessment methods
- Improve consistency of student learning and outcomes
- Create quality educational experiences for students that can be replicated
AAL has partnered with Penn Dental Medicine to develop this asynchronous, online program, the Fundamentals of Clinical Education (FCE). It will help support your clinical faculty development and ensure teaching mastery and comprehensive student outcomes.
At Your Pace Learning
The Fundamentals of Clinical Education (FCE) is
an at-your-pace program specifically designed
for new clinical faculty, transitioning private
practice practitioners, and oral health
educators.
Developed and vetted by leading experts in the
field, the FCE is comprised of seven learning
modules covering fundamental knowledge areas
as well as best practices. Each module utilizes
video, lectures, interviews, simulations, and
assessments to provide comprehensive educator
training.
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CLINICAL EDUCATION
Distilling decades of experience in clinical educator training, the FCE covers:
Effective Student
& Patient
Communication
Cultural
Competencies

Student

Designed Specifically For:

Residents with Teaching Responsibilities
WHY ONBOARD
Transitioning and new clinical faculty usually have little understanding about how to teach and how to work within the academic environment. The FCE is an essential tool for onboarding new clinical faculty so that they apply teaching fundamentals and understand the differences between the educational environment and private practice.
The FCE is a comprehensive, cost-effective solution for giving new clinical faculty the knowledge and skills they need to succeed as effective educators.

What Makes This Course Different?
AAL has over two decades of experience helping
organizations and leaders solve difficult problems in
health and higher education. We understand that
with generations of dental educators retiring, new
educators are faced with the challenge of
connecting and teaching the future of the
profession.
We’ve partnered with Penn Dental Medicine to
create an asynchronous, online program that
provides the knowledge and strategies needed for
clinical faculty to be successful.
