The content and resources on the Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum website were designed to foster inclusive post-secondary education through explicit skill development. These skills can help learners succeed in their academic journey while supporting their mental health. This activity will focus on one of the five available domains, Intrapersonal skills.
Intrapersonal skills allow people to identify their strengths and weaknesses while interpersonal skills help people collaborate and work well with others. The skills and topics in this domain help students recognize and reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and emotions of themselves and others. By engaging in this reflective practice, students can grow and develop personally and professionally. Furthermore, these skills can help students strengthen and empower their interactions and relationships with others. Intra- and interpersonal skills complement one another and contribute to work and life success.
Social media has become ubiquitous in contemporary culture: it is used for news and entertainment, but also for continuing education, public health information and even urgent communications in emergent situations. For professionals in health professions
education, social media may be used for peer support, exchange of pedagogy strategies, knowledge translation of new innovations, awareness of continuing education offerings, and building networks for collaboration. This module will challenge
participants to consider the opportunities and pitfalls when engaging in #SoMe for professional purposes, and offer learning challenges to develop skills and insights into navigating the digital landscape. Consider how you can harness the power
and penetration of social media in your professional roles by developing your digital brand, while reflecting on your personal ethos and your professional practice standards.
