“MSEDI is the best way to advance your career in medical student education….teaching knowledge and skills, networking with colleagues, and supporting your completion of a scholarly project….all packaged to link with the key academic meetings for family medicine educators”—David Little, MD, University of Vermont
Participant Project
As a participant, you will complete an independent project geared toward your specific interests, with guidance from an appointed advisor. This project allows you to use the information gained from the formal MSEDI instructional sessions in a practical fashion. You will experience continuous learning via planning, implementing, evaluating of your project, culminating in a submission of your work to the 2013 STFM Conference on Medical Student Education. Some project examples include educational research projects, review and revision of teaching/administrative activities, or establishment of a new clerkship, elective rotation, or other course offering.
