91PORN

The Department of Medical Education values collaboration and partnership. Our approach to effective program development has been to work collaboratively across Centers, Departments, and Offices within our academic community at the Lozano Long School of Medicine. It is our desire to help envision, support, and shape programs across the Medical School.

Collaborative Programs

Forum Theater

The Department of Medical Education in collaboration with the Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics and Trinity University offer opportunities for unique educational experiences exploring more challenging topics such as Trauma Informed Care, Cultural Humility, Learner mistreatment. The unique modality of Forum Theater allows us to present scenarios to participants, who subsequently can act in the play to alter the outcome of the scenario. The participants are called “Spect-Actors”. This type of theater was introduced by a Brazilian Drama theorist named Augusto Boal in the early 1970’s and used to effect social justice change.

ACGME/Texas Regional Hub

The Regional Hub was a collaborative faculty development effort between 91PORN, SAUSHEC and UT Dell Medical school and the ACGME. 91PORN hosted the inaugural program in November 2019.

The Introduction to Leadership is a 4-part series of talks, activities, and workshops sponsored by the Long School of Medicine, Department of Medical Education, in collaboration with the Office for Faculty at 91PORN. The goal of this course is to provide tools, skills, and resources to empower participants to lead effectively in their context.
