Translating Learning into Practice: Evidence-Based Strategies for Knowledge Transfer

Cynthia Nebel, Ph.D.
Director of Learning Services, St. Louis University School of Medicine

Within the health professions, it is critical that learners not only retain new knowledge, but that they be able to apply that knowledge to and across patient cases. Transfer is difficult for novice learners, but in this talk, Dr. Nebel will discuss several strategies that can be used in didactic and clinical settings to improve the transfer of knowledge for learners, trainees, and in continuing professional development.

Friday, May 9; 11:00 am - 12:00 pm; MedEd 300 (Reardon Classroom)

Inaugural members of the Teaching Academy will reunite with current members and Larner College of Medicine leadership for a special luncheon in the Hoehl Gallery on Friday, May 9, 12:00 pm. Remarks will begin at approximately 12:30 pm.
