FMNHS learning and teaching research grant scheme project

FMNHS Learning and Teaching Research Grant Scheme Project: What happened on Grey’s Anatomy last night? Teaching medicine and medical ethics using popular culture.

Call for Chapters for Edited Collection.

This project aims to identify and engage with opportunities to use popular culture references in medical and health-related tertiary education. In pursuit of this goal the Medical Education Research and Quality unit (MERQ) will be running a seminar series focused on exploring the most effective methods of incorporating these references into the student learning experience at Monash. The location of the seminars will alternate between the Alfred Centre and Monash Clayton campus and will include guest speakers from various schools and centres at Monash.

In addition, for this project a peer-reviewed edited collection will be produced as an interdisciplinary teaching resource. Submissions are invited for chapters and reflective pieces on the broad topic of using popular culture in medical education. The call for chapters is attached (due 1 November, 2015). 

More information.

Date: 19 August, 2015
Time: 11:00am-12:30pm
