Medical Education Journal Club
Goal:
This program aims to increase faculty members’ awareness of trends in medical education.
About the Program:
Each month, a faculty facilitator presents one to three articles from an educational journal to identify the educational research conducted at schools of medicine around the nation. After the facilitator presents an overview of the articles, discussion between participants ensues.
