Longitudinal Teacher/Coach Program
In alignment with best educational practices, a major feature of the ForWard Curriculum is to provide each of our students with a longitudinal teacher/coach (LTC) to allow for continuity between teacher and learner to facilitate competency-based skill development across all phases of our curriculum.
Longitudinal teacher/coaches will have primary responsibilities for facilitating the Patient-Centered Education (PaCE) Case Groups and teaching the ForWard Clinical Skills Curriculum. LTCs also are responsible for teamwork skills and professionalism coaching as well as fostering lifelong learning and critical self-reflection across all three phases of the curriculum.

Thirty-eight physicians known for their dedication to teaching and patient-centered care were selected from the School of Medicine and Public Health faculty to lead Patient Centered Education (PaCE) and serve as longitudinal teacher/coaches.
