Professionals in Educational Settings
A growing cadre of non-physician professionals are interested or working in medical and professional education settings, and are seeking ways to develop skills and perspectives that will increase their professional effectiveness. Individuals with knowledge and expertise in education can find professionally challenging and satisfying careers in educational administration in professional schools, and also in social sciences research conducted in these educational settings.

Physicians, Clinicians and Faculty in Professional Schools
An increasing number of physicians and other clinicians in academic health care centers, as well as faculty well-versed in other professions who have teaching responsibilities, are seeking advanced training in education to provide them with a conceptual and scholarly foundation for their educational responsibilities, and to enhance their leadership potential.

The concentration can provide them with a solid foundation in higher education theory and practice, and also with practical approaches to teaching, assessment and evaluation.
