Medical Education Interest Group for Trainees |
Are you interested in medical education? Perhaps you enjoy teaching students and peers, or are considering a career in academic medicine. The Graduate Medical Education office is forming a Medical Education Interest Group for trainees (residents and fellows) due to the increasing interest in trainee-as-teacher activities. This will be a forum to support residents and fellows across the various training programs in finding local teaching opportunities, improving teaching skills, and exploring career opportunities in academic medicine. We are looking for group members and a leadership team.
