Podagogies presents DocTalks: A Medical Learning & Teaching Podcast

The team at Podagogies is delighted to present a new podcast, produced in conjunction with the TMU School of Medicine. DocTalks brings together clinical educators to share insights, innovations, and evidence-based approaches to teaching in medicine. From mentorship to simulation, from feedback to assessment, we explore the art and science of medical education.

Episode #1: Introduction with Dr. Teresa Chan

Co-hosts Curtis Maloley and Chelsea Jones welcome the new DocTalks co-host, Dr. Heather MacNeil, Interim Assistant Dean of Faculty Development at the TMU School of Medicine.


To kick things off, we’re joined by Dr. Teresa Chan, an educational leader, researcher, and the founding Dean of the School of Medicine.
