Apply for CEEI Certificate Designation

The Center for Educational Excellence & Innovation (CEEI) aims to support the development of
focused, high-quality certificate programs across the enterprise. A certificate program is a longitudinal educational offering that provides in-depth training and skills development in a specific area.

Certificate programs are flexible and engaging learning opportunities for a cohort of targeted learners, led by a team of experienced health professions educators with content expertise. CEEI has outlined the required components and criteria for educators from any BCH department or division to use in developing and delivering a certificate program for their learners.

If your program or curricula meets the criteria, you may apply for
CEEI designation as a BCH Certificate Program.

Examples of Certificate Program Components

Approved Certificate Programs are grounded in experiential learning, which promotes the
application, interactive experience, and reflection of professional practice in real-life contexts. Consider these examples as you assess if your current curriculum meets the criteria.

Core Curriculum

  • Seminar series with clear learning objectives intended to meet an evidence-based
    educational need
  • Scaffolding of curricula components to progress from foundational to advanced
    knowledge of key concepts/principles

Opportunities for Practice and Application

  • Completion of a project that applies core principles from the program
  • Structured reflections with feedback, interactive exercises, written assignments, or leanerled journal clubs on key principles

Opportunities to Facilitate Learner Progress

  • Individualized coaching with a certificate lead or faculty member
  • Longitudinal engagement as a community to discuss shared interests and challenges
  • Hands-on skills sessions or boot camps led by trained facilitators
  • Faculty/peer observations

Program Evaluation

Evaluation activities can take many forms (e.g., evaluation surveys, tracking mechanisms,
interviews/focus groups). One helpful template for overall evaluation of a certificate program is
the Logic Outcomes Model, which includes detailing inputs, outputs, and short and long-term
outcomes.
