IDEAL “Train The Trainers” seminars

A central initiative of the IDEAL program is its annual “Train the Trainers” (TTT) seminar, designed to enhance the teaching skills of junior and mid-career educators from partner institutions.

IDEAL “Train The Trainers” seminar is designed to prepare the health professionals to teach interprofessional communication to their students and interns

The IDEAL seminar encourages educators to develop or deepen their knowledge and skills in interprofessional communication (communication basics, non-verbal communication, AI-enhanced communication tools, inclusive communication…), using infectious diseases as a framework to better answer the future crisis management and pandemics.

Each year, it welcomes 20 to 30 international medical and healthcare educators for three days dedicated to train them to interprofessionality and medical communication through the lens of infectious disease, using innovative teaching methods such as Team-Based Learning (TBL), faculty development and  Simulation-Based Learning (SBL).
