The Meducators Podcast
How did you get into teaching? What struggles have you encountered? What are some lessons learned?
These are just some of the questions tackled in our new podcast, The Meducators. Co-hosts Dr. Debbie Basco and Dr. Derek Chang invite members of the UBC medical educator community to tell their stories about becoming a medical teacher — how they got there and what keeps them going.
The Meducators is our in-house podcast created in partnership with the UBC Medicine Learning Network aiming to enhance teacher identity formation as well as build connections in the VFMP community.
