Learning Opportunities
- Junior Faculty as Medical Educators (J-FAME) Certificate Program
- The J-FAME certificate program for Pediatric Junior Faculty interested in elevating their skills as medical educators. The course is a 6-month virtual curriculum that will result in a special distinction/certificate upon completion.
- Applications are due July 15, 2024
- Fill out this form or email heather.collette@yale.edu for more information.
- Medical Education Research Certificate (MERC) Program
- The Medical Education Research Certificate (MERC) program is intended to provide the knowledge necessary to understand the purposes and processes of medical education research, to become informed consumers of the medical education research literature, and to be effective collaborators in medical education research. Alone, MERC is not intended to produce independent medical education researchers. The program is open to all who are interested in improving their educational research skills and is targeted for those with a background in medical education but relatively less experience in conducting educational research. The courses are targeted for clinicians and other educators who desire to learn research skills that will enable collaborative participation in medical education research projects.
