Problem Based Learning

• Southern Illinois University's School of Medicine
  A good beginning point for investigating the problem-based learning (PBL) process within medical education is the PBL site at the Medical School of Southern Illinois University.
• Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario 
  Queen's University School of Medicine has developed an online handbook on the PBL teaching technique.
• Collaborative Learning
  This Web site is produced by the National Institute for Science Education and provides a basic introduction to the collaborative learning process within higher education. It also provides some personal reflections by students and teachers who are involved in classes transitioning from traditional teaching environments to collaborative learning environments.
• National Learning Communities Project
  The Learning Community Commons site explores the concept of learning communities within higher education. It includes a "Handbook on Collaborative Learning Assessment."

Faculty Development for Preceptors

• Southern New Hampshire Area Health Education Center 
  This site provides education, information, training, and services for residents and preceptors in community-based care environments. The site consists of a series of 10 learning modules on teaching students in ambulatory care.
• The School of Medicine University of North Carolina
  The Expert Preceptor Interactive Curriculum (EPIC)
  EPIC consists of 10 learning modules. It presents preceptor-relevant information on teaching students within a clinical environment.
• The University of Kansas School of Medicine
  Clinical Teaching Strategies
  This site provides a collection of easy-to-review tips and techniques on community-based teaching as well as hospital-based teaching.

Junior Faculty & Resident Development

• Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)
  The Outcome Project - Resident Competencies
  The Web site of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education defines a set of basic competencies for residents.

• The Managed Care Education Connection
  The Managed Care Education Connection is one site which can be used to provide curriculum ideas that promote the integration of the ACGME competencies into existing programs.
• End of Life Physician Education Resource Center
  The End of Life Physician Education Resource Center (EPERC) is a central repository for educational materials and information on end-of-life care. It can also be used as a source of curriculums for faculty development.
• Students and Residents about Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Synthesized from a Literature Review
  Greg Ogrinc, Linda A. Headrick, Sunita Mutha, Mary T. Coleman, Joseph O'Donnell, and Paul V. Miles A Framework for Teaching Medical Acad Med 2003 78: 748-756.
