More than 150 physicians applied to attend this year's physician-educator program. Although the selection process is designed to bring a diverse group of educators together, the primary criteria for judging applicants is the quality of their planned projects. The physician-educator program is composed of two parts. First, the educators come to HMS for a 10-day series of workshops and presentations. The consulting groups are led by facilitators.
Facilitators enable medical educators to better understand their own learning processes.
After returning to their schools, the program participants spend the next several months implementing their projects. You can take bits and pieces of fresh insights and apply them to your own project.
