The Center for Medical Education has announced sixteen new fellows to participate in the Education Scholar Fellowship for 2025-2026. In this interactive program, fellows learn educational scholarship skills including qualitative research, curriculum development, program assessment, and evaluation. Fellows work with faculty mentors across Yale School of Medicine. These mentors provide support and guidance in the fellows’ individual projects that aim to enhance their department’s or the school’s educational programs. Fellows will present their projects at the 2026 Medical Education Day at Yale. Donna Windish, MD, MPH, professor of medicine (general internal medicine), serves as program director.
