Here are resources to help you facilitate and recognize the professional development of your faculty.
How is a learning from teaching activity defined?
Learning from teaching activities are personal learning projects designed and implemented by the learner with facilitation from the accredited provider. This type of activity recognizes the learning that occurs as physicians prepare to teach. Learning from teaching represents a range of activities in which an accredited provider can facilitate practice-based learning and improvement – where the ‘practice’ could be the person’s professional “teaching practice” or “clinical practice” or “research practice.”
Examples of learning from teaching activities:
To prepare for teaching a skills workshop at a aesthetic specialty society meeting, faculty find that they need to learn how to operate a new aesthetic device that will be used during the workshop. The specialty society, as an accredited provider, facilitates their training on the new device as a learning from teaching activity for the faculty prior to their teaching engagement.
An accredited provider makes available a learning from teaching activity for new faculty in the form of "individualized learning projects." In the activity, new faculty assess what knowledge and skills they need to teach more effectively, and then the provider makes available training and feedback to improve the new faculty members’ teaching skills. This includes one-to-one mentorship and training with educational experts.
What is the difference between direct providership and joint providership of activities?
A directly provided activity is one that is planned, implemented and evaluated by the accredited provider. Include co-provided activities (provided by two accredited providers) in this category if you are the accredited provider awarding the credit. A jointly provided activity is one that is planned, implemented and evaluated by the accredited provider and a non-accredited entity.
If your organization is the accredited provider for a jointly provided activity, you are required to report the same financial data that you do for directly provided activities, even if the joint provider was the recipient of the funds.
Content Validity
Clinicians should be able to trust that accredited CNAE activities are evidence-based and balanced. As described in the CNAE Clinical Content Validation Policy, accredited CNAE providers are responsible for validating clinical content to ensure that education supports safe, effective patient care. This responsibility belongs to the accredited CNAE provider — whether the activity is directly provided or jointly provided.
