Pathway Structure

Participants will engage in a structured ‘boot-camp’ early in junior year, followed by a longitudinal curriculum that will utilize didactics, peer coaching, direct observations and formal mentorship from medical education faculty. Participants will also rotate on medical education electives, during which they will hone the skills they have learned in the pathway, and will complete an education-focused scholarly project.

Request for applications is distributed each January via email. Please reach out to the pathway director with questions.
