COE, Brody Partner to Transform Medical Education

The College of Education Adult Education program is working with faculty at the Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) on a project designed to revolutionize the field of medical education.

The project was developed as part of a $1 million grant that BSOM received from the American Medical Association this past summer, to implement the REACH Initiative (Redesigning Education to Accelerate Change in Healthcare). BSOM was one of 11 schools, including NYU, Mayo Medical School and Penn State, chosen to receive the grant.

As part of grant-related efforts, 38 BSOM faculty members have become TQA (Teachers of Quality Academy) Fellows. TQA Fellows will be engaged in a rigorous course of study that focuses on teaching skills, instructional methods, and educational evaluation; all in the context of medical education. The goal is to create medical educators who can teach their students about systems-based practice, patient safety, and meaningful team-based healthcare.

As part of this program, all TQA Fellows will take three Adult Education courses, complete several online education modules and will attend seminars, lectures and other activities. The first of the three adult education courses, Introduction to Medical Education, will be offered to TQA Fellows in the summer of 2014.
