Brown Bag Discussions
Brown Bag discussions are designed to explore
and disseminate best practices for helping
educators teach students effectively and
efficiently in both classroom and clinical
environment. Brown bags also include a CVM
“Journal Club” whose goals are to cooperatively
explore the literature on teaching and learning,
disseminate knowledge and ideas to teaching
faculty, and thereby foster experimentation and
innovation in the curriculum. Below are a list
of past discussions that the Teaching Academy
