Concepts in Online Resources for Accelerated Learning

Welcome to the CORAL Collection

The CORAL Collection is a set of materials designed for education committee members, course and program directors, and dedicated teachers at every level. These Cells will help people learn some of the most important concepts and principles in medical education so that they collectively and individually may make more informed and we hope better educational decisions at the policy, curriculum, and course levels and in the teaching and learning contexts in which they work.


"Learning some of the most important concepts and principles in medical education."


Each Cell is short, discrete, and designed to help you learn. Each Cell has an introduction, one to three objectives, self-assessments, a section to present the material, practice questions with expert responses, an evaluation so we can get better, references and further reading, and a concept map showing related Cells. There are three ways to find Cells of interest: by grouping, alphabetically, or by glossary. Learn more about how to navigate in each Cell.

Understanding the central purpose of teaching (CPT), the main and singular goal of teaching, along with the implications, will allow us to be more intentional about our teaching, to identify and distinguish between more effective and less effective teaching, and to improve by keeping the end in mind.
