Unlocking Potential: Exploring Individual and Organizational Factors for Clinical Educator Engagement in Teaching Development

The Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science hosts bimonthly Grand Rounds that is open to all clinicians and researchers interested in the topic of rehabilitation. For our next session, we have invited Erin Green, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT to discuss the topic of individual and organizational factors for clinical educator engagement in teaching development. During the presentation, Dr. Green will discuss how clinical educators are essential to quality education in academic and community clinical settings, yet many receive little formal training. Faculty development (FD) enhances teaching, student learning, patient care, and professional growth, but participation rates remain low. This Grand Rounds presentation will explore findings from a scoping review on the individual and organizational factors influencing clinical educators’ engagement in teaching development and discuss strategies for fostering greater participation and advancing excellence in clinical teaching.

Dr. Erin Green, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at CSU, Sacramento. She earned her BA in Psychology from UC San Diego in 2004 and her DPT from UCSF/SFSU in 2009. Dr. Green completed advanced orthopedic training at Kaiser Hayward (now Kaiser Northern California) in 2013 and achieved ABPTS board certification in orthopedic physical therapy in 2015. Previously, she served as the founding program director for the UCSF Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency program. Currently, she is a co-course director for musculoskeletal patient management series and co-clinic director in the REACH Community Clinic at CSU Sacramento. Her primary research interest is in teaching and learning within clinical/workplace settings and is currently pursuing her PhD in Health Profession Education at UCSF-UMC-Utrecht.
