Med Ed Track
The Office of Graduate Medical Education, in collaboration with the Department of Medicine, offers a two-year medical education track designed to equip residents and fellows with the skills needed to pursue a career as educators in academic medicine. Participants will gain foundational knowledge, engage in practical teaching experience, participate in curriculum design, develop a comprehensive med ed portfolio, and complete a scholarly project. These experiences are structured to prepare them for leadership roles in medical education. Upon successful completion, track participants will be awarded a certificate in medical education, recognizing their advanced training and contributions to the field.
