COVID-19 created an opportunity to reevaluate curricula. As remote learning became commonplace we found ourselves needing to fill a void left by lost learning opportunities due to clinic closures. Pediatric dentistry residencies combined resources to create an online seminar series. As clinical care resumed, we created a longer-lasting seminar series which has evolved into an ongoing learning platform for pediatric dentistry residents. In this seminar, you will learn how we created a cross-institutional educational program, see examples of challenges with cross-institution teaching, brainstorm ways to create similar programming in your area, and interact with presenters in a Q&A session.

Learning Objectives:

Evaluate how cross-institutional seminars can help to augment existing educational programming and discuss ways to start and sustain a seminar series across different institutions.
Summarize the challenges of cross-institutional learning and ways to overcome these challenges.
Identify areas in their programs that would benefit from cross-institutional collaboration and apply ways to begin and maintain a seminar series in their area of expertise.
Evaluate how cross-institutional seminars can help to augment existing educational programming and discuss ways to start and sustain a seminar series across different institutions.
