The program focused specifically on optimizing the preparation of faculty who educate health professional students within the complex environment of health systems (environments dedicated to promoting health and providing healthcare). The program is designed for individuals who possess a professional degree (Master's or Doctorate) or are currently enrolled in a professional degree program in a health profession and either have or aspire to have responsibility as education practitioners, leaders, and scholars. These individuals are in the challenging position of balancing responsibility to serve patient needs while also teaching and mentoring a wide variety of trainees (e.g. students, interns, residents). The goals are to optimize educational skills of individuals who teach in health professions, primarily focused on clinical teaching; prepare leaders who can advance the practice of teaching and learning in the healthcare environment, and develop educational scholarship focused on the integration of education and health systems.
