Introduction:
Health science educators often receive little formal training in teaching methods, which may limit the adoption of evidence-based strategies. Synchronous, less flexible development programs are also difficult for many interprofessional educators to access.
Methods:
We designed Education Essentials, a modular, asynchronous curriculum to support foundational teaching skill development across health professions. Guided by growth mindset and experiential learning frameworks and informed by our needs assessment, we developed 9 modules aligned with core teaching domains.
Results:
As of April 2025, 185 unique learners had enrolled in at least 1 of the first 6 modules, with 110 modules completed.
Discussion:
This curriculum addresses an institutional need and supports scalable, accessible educator development across clinical, basic science, and interprofessional settings.
