Staff development series to explore ethical challenges

The Whiddon College of Medicine's Spark & Start Staff Development Series continues this fall. This is a quarterly staff development session designed to spark participants' attention and enable them to get started using new or underused skills and technology.

Peyton McElroy, Ph.D., assistant professor of medical education, and Leesha Coleman, MLIS, assistant librarian at the Baugh Biomedical Library, will facilitate an interactive session exploring everyday ethical challenges in work and life through the lens of medical humanities, art, literature, and creative activities. This professional development opportunity offers a chance to step away from the daily routine, engage in thought-provoking exercises, and reflect on life’s big — and small — questions in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

The session will be held Oct. 15 from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building third-floor multipurpose room. The Zoom link will be shared with participants closer to the event.
