Otolaryngologists Drs. Binoy Chandy and MaryFrances Musso recently received the Baylor College of Medicine Master Teacher Certificate and presented at the Baylor College of Medicine Academy of Distinguished Educators. The Master Teacher Certificate is awarded by the Master Teachers Fellowship Program at Baylor.
Chandy presented on “Spaced Education in Difficult to Teach Topics: Professionalism,” looking at teaching small amounts over a period of time rather than routine lectures in hard to teach topics such as professionalism.
Musso discussed a pilot study she led using a video to educate parents of patients scheduled for an adenotonsillectomy. Parents were asked to rate the effectiveness of the video before and after surgery. This project’s main goal was to increase educational resources available to patients and families and have them be better prepared for postoperative care.
