tEACH Group
Welcome to tEACH, the subcommittee of EACH that focuses on providing support, resources and sharing of expertise for communication teachers, whether about teaching, curriculum development or assessment. The aim of tEACH is to be a primary source of help for communication teachers everywhere.
tEACH Core Planning Group
tEACH is overseen by the tEACH Core Planning Committee, which currently consists of two tEACH co-chairs and deputy-chair (who share all duties and responsibilities), and the heads of each working subgroup, as chosen by subgroup members, and other key tEACH members.
tEACH assessment Group
The Assessment Group is dedicated to advancing healthcare communication by supporting educators and institutions with comprehensive information about assessment strategies, tools and resources. Our objective emphasizes constructive alignment with an integrated approach of teaching, learning, and assessment, incorporating feedback from all stakeholders, including learners, educators, patients, and caregivers. We aim to ensure learners are prepared to provide high-quality care by adapting to new developments in healthcare communication, teaching and its assessment. Through these efforts, we strive to enhance the quality of care through good healthcare communication for all.
tEACH Courses for Clinicians Group
The aim of the group is to arrange teaching courses specifically for clinicians.

This support uses a skills-based and evidence-based approach to teaching communication skills.

How to get involved with tEACH
The tEACH committee has several projects and activities it works on (for more information, see activities and projects). If you feel you may have something to contribute to one of these activities, please contact us through teach@each.international.
Are you an experienced communication teacher who has an interest in collaborating with and contributing to tEACH on a more regular basis. Currently, we are looking for people with expertise and interest in e-learning, teaching tools and videos, and/or in making tEACH projects and products more visible. We specifically would welcome communication teachers from dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and/or paramedical professions.
Because the tEACH committee is an active group working on longer term projects, we prefer to limit the number of members and also limit membership turnover.
To join the tEACH committee: please complete the tEACH Application Form and return to teach@each.international.
tEACH is in the process of establishing national and discipline-based networks of communication teachers and can offer help to interested individuals in establishing and expanding these networks and planning events (meetings, symposia, workshops) in which network members can exchange ideas, solve problems and learn from experts.
If you are interested in participating in establishing/expanding networks or have questions about this, please contact networking@each.international.
The EACH Teaching Award is an innovative prize which aims to recognise teachers who have made a significant and outstanding contribution to healthcare communication education. Click here for more information.
