#MedEd Twitter Chat
The Academies Collaborative will be hosting our very own MedEd Twitter Chat on April 18th at 9pm ET. These chats, led by Dr. Gary Beck Dallaghan, are held weekly and transcripts are distributed to the DR ED listserv. These scheduled Twitter discussions often promote lively dialogue and idea sharing. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about other academies and share best practices.
For this chat we will be discussing how Academies of Medical Educators (and their equivalents in hospital systems) structurally support educators. Check out this website for background info: https://www.academiescollaborative.com/
