Curricular Affairs Office

Educational Research

Goal:
To encourage members of the learning community to engage in systematic inquiry into the medical education process by providing information on grant and fellowship opportunities and to encouraging faculty to report findings to the broader educational community. By supporting educational research, our goal is to encourage systematic intellectual engagement and invites critical reflection and discourse on educational practices.

This office serves as a center for facilitating identification of research projects on medical education, for bringing faculty as well as students together to engage in educational research, and to provide guidance for these activities.

All aspects of medical education are open to inquiry such as assessment of pedagogical methods, learning styles, the learning environment, professional development, and assessing organizational structures that support medical education.
