Want to share your expertise with others?
The Invite a Lecturer series brings high‑quality, virtual presentations on key DBP topics to a national audience.
As a lecturer, you’ll share your expertise in the DBP topic you know best, while expanding your professional reach and strengthening your CV.
Providers in all career stages are encouraged and welcome to give lectures. It may be especially helpful for the career development of early and mid - career providers to have an opportunity to present to learners from across the country, network and make an impact beyond your home institution.
Our primary audience includes trainees such as residents and fellows, though practicing providers regularly join as well. Lectures are offered throughout the year, and exceptional presenters may be invited by individual institutions for additional teaching opportunities.
