The UNC Academy of Educators is now accepting applications for the Teaching as a Resident: Highlighting the Evidence and Enthusiasm of Learning (TARHEEL) program.
Piloted in 2020, the AOE TARHEEL Program offers residents, AOE members and non-members across the UNC Hospitals and the Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) system, the opportunity to participate in a standardized program to improve cross-department collaboration, enhance engagement between faculty and residents, and increase academic scholarly projects and publications, beneficial to enhancing faculty educational scholarship.
The TARHEEL program is divided into a fall and spring semesters. Sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings between 5:30 – 7 p.m. and all sessions will be virtual.
This curriculum augments the teaching skills of residents in mentoring and educating medical students, physician assistant students, and other learners across the AHEC system. Sessions are interactive lectures and are facilitated by UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and the TARHEEL Program Co-Directors Taylor Carter, MD, from general surgery; Winston Li, MD, from psychiatry; and Eric Zwemer, MD, from pediatrics.
