Resources for Med Ed

The Department of Medical Education faculty members engage in direct teaching of medical students in educational methods; communication skills; evidence-based medicine; socio-cultural medicine; reflective practice; professional values, social responsibility, and health policy; and independent studies in medical education research.

The Department faculty work with basic science and clinical faculty to design curricula for undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education. These development efforts help faculty focus on educational goals and outcomes, instructional methods, innovative educational technologies, assessing outcomes, and planning the sequence of instruction.

A full spectrum of evaluation and assessment expertise, ranging from large-scale program evaluation to the assessment of specific performance outcomes in individual students is provided by the faculty. Assistance and support in the areas of research design, data management, statistical analysis, design and development of measurement instruments, and power analysis to estimate sample size needs to individuals conducting research in medical education and evaluation is available.

A wide range of faculty development opportunities exist through the Department of Medical Education. Workshops can be scheduled with the topics adapted to specific audiences.
