Teaching, leading, and learning in health professions education has evolved to necessitate an understanding of pedagogy, assessment, feedback, leadership and scholarship in order to create curricula, lead programs, and properly execute academic research. Our MHPE program targets individuals who seek a more granular development of these skills to advance their effectiveness as health professions educators and their careers. Our focus will be on healthcare professionals who are serving or desiring to assume roles in educational leadership, healthcare organizations, or professional societies.
