Created by faculty/staff in the Department of Medicine at the University of alabama at Birmingham, this is the first in a series of brief 6-minute videos for faculty development and focuses on Setting Expectations. .

Recognizing the desire for an accessible, practical yet content-rich way to enhance medical faculty teaching skills, the MedEd Moments Series was designed and created by dedicated faculty development specialists to be widely applicable across the profession.  Through a series of learning vignettes, MedEd Moments addresses important and often unmet needs in topic areas including: Setting Expectations, Feedback, Learning Climate, Evaluation and many more.  Each approximately five minute section incorporates adult learning principles using high-quality video and state-of-the-art theory to facilitate and encourage active learning.  We hope these vignettes will serve as a foundational primer on teaching techniques as well as a reference or review for seasoned, experienced faculty.

“Setting Expectations” is the first learning episode in the series of MedEd Moments.
