Abstract:
How can educators foster a passion for teaching in a health sciences student who has never considered education as a career? The author recounts 5 experiences that were instrumental in shaping his own career as an educator. These experiences illustrate principles which may be used to encourage students to consider careers in education. Principles discussed include exposure to teaching opportunities while students are still studying the health sciences, recognition of students showing promise as teachers, role models, mentorship, and appropriate compensation for those in education careers.
