Congratulations and farewell to Amanda Broder, who recently accepted the Regional Program Coordinator position in the LCOM Office of Continuing Medical and Interprofessional Education. Amanda has served as the Conference and Member Event Coordinator for the Teaching Academy since 2022. Some of you may recall that she also worked in the Teaching Academy from 2018-2021. Thus, we are doubly sad to see her leave!
Those of you who will work with Amanda in her new role will certainly appreciate her professional, organized approach to planning and coordinating events. Her last day in the Teaching Academy will be Friday, May 15.
Best of luck to you, Amanda!

MEDICAL EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
|
Application cycle now open! Deadline to apply June 15, 2026
|
The Medical Education Fellowship Program is a monthly, cohort-style program for Larner College of Medicine faculty who seek additional preparation for teaching and educational scholarship across the medical education continuum. Topics include constructing learning goals and objectives; educational program design and evaluation; the science of learning; approaches to educational research; and more. Participants also initiate an education project and receive peer feedback and educational research consultation throughout the program. The program consists of interactive, seminar-style sessions and readings. Participants may also elect to observe teaching sessions and receive feedback on their own teaching.
Approximately 8-10 faculty members will be selected for participation in the Medical Education Fellowship Program. While designed for early to mid-career faculty members, faculty with teaching experience who are interested in expanding their teaching skills and educational scholarship may also apply. Participants are expected to undertake a curriculum or assessment project or other teaching-related project suitable for presentation and publication. Scholarly project presentations will occur at the final session. The primary facilitator is Katie Huggett, Ph.D., Director of the LCOM Teaching Academy. Additional faculty and staff will co-facilitate or share resources and expertise at individual sessions.
