Health Professional Educators: Community of Practice

As an HPE in DFCM, you are welcome to join our community of practice (CoP). You do not have to hold status appointment in the DFCM to join, but you must be affiliated with one of the DFCM’s teaching sites.

The purpose of this CoP is to foster connections among HPE colleagues in DFCM and across all sites, and to support you in your various academic roles. Through the community we hope to:

Communication & Development- Sharing news relevant to HPEs from U of T DFCM and national sources while providing information on faculty development opportunities to support professional growth.
Community- Strengthening connections among HPEs within the DFCM by fostering a collaborative network and promoting engagement.
Integration- Developing strategies and guidance to enhance effective integration of HPEs within the DFCM and at individual sites.
Advocacy- Championing the recognition of HPE contributions within the DFCM, including advocating for protected educational time, faculty development and enhanced faculty status.

If you are not currently a member of our CoP and are interested in joining, please click the link below to register. This link will take you to a very short Qualtrics survey so that we can confirm your contact information and find a little bit more about you.

Please invite other HPE colleagues from your site to join as well. The following brochure can be downloaded and shared with others: Health Professional Educators at DFCM Brochure

To our knowledge, this CoP for HPEs is the first of its kind in in Canada, and we look forward to connecting with you through this exciting initiative.
