Office of Education
The Office of Education coordinates and grows educational opportunities for all members of the department. We lead the integration and development of all education programs, initiatives and activities for the department, including undergraduate medical education, residency program, continuing professional development, the simulation program, event planning, fellowship training and mentorship.
The office continues to expand the programs and services offered, including the recent creation of a department–wide journal club, expansion of our fellowship opportunities, and continued growth of workshop and skill development programs for all department members. The Office will soon launch a formal mentorship program for all members of the department.
