Education Theory Made Practical (Volumes 4 & 5): An ALiEM Faculty Incubator eBook Series

education theory made practical, volumes 4 and 5 cover book

Back by popular demand and thanks to a generous grant from the Government of Ontario’s eCampus initiative, the ALiEM team is delighted to announce the publication of 2 new eBook publications: Volumes 4 and 5 of the Education Theory Made Practical eBook series [ALiEM Library]. Like all of the others that have come before, these books were a labor of love brought to you by the dedicated Faculty Incubator alumni. On behalf of all the editors of both editions, we are very proud of all our Faculty Incubator alumni who made this happen. 

Their amazing contributions have been compiled in these FREE, peer-reviewed eBooks. We sincerely feel that these will be a useful resource for all the educators out there, wrestling with the issue of integrating theory into practice. Special shout-out to the incredible Dr. Jonathan Sherbino (Volume 4) and Dr. William Bynum (Volume 5) who authored the forewords and provided us with their thoughtful insights on how theory can relate to a clinician educator’s practice.

About the Books

The Education Theory Made Practical series aims to make the theoretical underpinnings of education psychology come alive for health professions teachers who are seeking to use theory to inform their clinical and classroom teaching.

Notes from Dr. Sara Krzyzaniak, the lead editor of Volume 4: I am proud of the authors’ work in writing primers on some of the core theories in medical education. The theories covered in this volume will help educators design (Cognitive Load Theory) and evaluate (Miller’s Pyramid) their curriculum. It will help us understand why our learners behave in a certain way (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs) and how we approach and organize abstract concepts in education (Prototype Theory). Check out the 10 chapters in Volume 4 to help you understand how we can use education theory to be more successful educators, learners, and scholars. 

Notes from Dr. Abra Fant, the lead editor of Volume 5: This volume explores 10 new theories which again cover the educational design process from start to finish. The IDEO Design Theory helps educators disrupt while designing, R2C2 provides an exceptional model for delivering feedback and the Logic Model is a wonderful resource for evaluating curricula. We invite you to explore these and other chapters to help provide background and context as you design, enact and evaluate your educational interventions. 

Our Process

As part of the Faculty Incubator program, a 2 -3 person team authored a primer on a key education theory on the International Clinician Educator (ICE) blog. These posts were published serially over a 10-week period. Each post featured a key educationally-relevant theory by starting with a vignette that situated the theory. Following this vignette, there was an explanation and short history of the theory followed by an annotated bibliography for further reading. To ensure high quality, we then asked the #MedEd and #FOAMed online communities to join us in peer-reviewing these posts. After incorporating many of the peer review comments, each blog post was converted into a book chapter within this volume of a series of books for budding clinician-educators – the Education Theory Made Practical series. We believe this will serve as a valuable tool on how to incorporate educational theory into the clinical realm in a practical way.

Education Theory Made Practical (Volume 3): An ALiEM Faculty Incubator eBook Project

The ALiEM Team is delighted to announce another eBook publication: the third volume in the Education Theory Made Practical series. This book was a labor of love written by the 2018-19 Faculty Incubator class. We are very proud of all our Faculty Incubator alumni who made this happen. Their hard work has been compiled in this FREE, peer-reviewed eBook. We sincerely feel that it will be useful for all the educators out there, wrestling with the issue of integrating theory into practice. Special shout-out to the incredible Dr. David Sklar (former Editor-in-Chief of Academic Medicine) for providing us a thought-provoking foreword.

PV Card: Knee Injuries | Quick Reference Guide

patella-dislocation knee injuriesOrthopedic injuries are commonly managed in the emergency department. Often a quick bedside reference card is needed to remind the clinician about the acute management decisions. This is the third of a series of orthopedic quick reference cards written by a team from the 2015-16 ALiEM Chief Resident Incubator. The first two were on ankle and hindfoot fractures and hip injuries. This card set covers knee injuries, specifically patella fractures, patella dislocation, and knee dislocation. These cards were expert reviewed by Dr. Scott Sherman, co-editor of the Emergency Orthopedics textbook (Amazon), and illustrations were created by Dr. Mary Haas.
