Comments from Fellowship Graduates:

  • "I was happily surprised by how practical and 'in the trenches' the learning was."
  • "I am now more confident in confronting difficult issues, e.g., stressed out residents and learners having problems."
  • "I would recommend this program to any faculty member wishing to be a clinician/educator or involved in medical education because the curriculum covers topics not formally taught elsewhere. Anyone who teaches adults or acts as a program director needs this information in order to do their job well."
  • My favorite part was getting to know the other members, and sharing teaching successes and frustrations."
  • "Your program is by far the most helpful and influential professional development experience I have ever been part of."
