Professional Development

Our Professional Development unit offers a number of programs to help meet the ongoing professional development needs of our faculty. Programs are developed in consultation with our Professional Development Advisory Committee and TEACH (Teaching Excellence Academy for Collaborative Healthcare)...

Learning Sessions and Video Presentations

On the side menu, you will find many of our professional development sessions on video. We encourage you to attend in person, but knowing how full schedules can be, this is an alternative that may be of benefit in your continuing professional development endeavors.

Of note: As of January 2019, we are offering CME credit to our videos that have a CME post-viewing evaluation form link. There is NO CME credit for videos that have no link to the post-session evaluation form.

Current Topics in Health Care

Our Current Topics series reflects a variety of ideas and developments in health care that are of current interest to our physicians. These sessions are intended to address “hot topics” or cutting-edge issues currently prominent in health care. Current Topics sessions are generally presented by our internal staff educators, but there are times at which external educators are invited to share their expertise on a special topic as needed.

While the sessions are created with the physician audience in mind, all interested health professions staff are invited to attend sessions that are topically relevant to their roles and/or interests.

Online CME credit is available for any video that has a CME post-viewing evaluation form link. If it has no link to the post-session evaluation form, there is NO CME credit for that video.

Research Series

The Office of Continuing Professional Development and the Research & Development Department have partnered to develop and offer the 2024 - 2025 Research Series for faculty and staff at Carilion Clinic, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Radford University Carilion.

Sessions will provide foundational concepts and information necessary for engaging in research, and are geared towards those who need higher level or specialized instruction related to research within our organization. Sessions will typically be scheduled the last Thursday of each month from 12:00 to 1:00 pm via Zoom. Zoom links will be added to calendars and recordings will be available online.

Graduate Medical Education Core Curriculum (GMECC)

To help meet ACGME accreditation requirements, the Office of Continuing Professional Development and the Office of Graduate Medical Education have developed a standardized curriculum for all GME trainees and faculty. This podcast series primarily focuses on quality improvement, leadership, and teaching components.

These topics represent foundational principles from which programs should build by interweaving the concepts into teaching within each specialty. Residents and fellows are required (faculty are encouraged) to engage with all podcast sessions of the series during training.
