Faculty Action

What is the purpose of undergraduate medical education? Are faculty and students aligned in their views?


We are looking for faculty to participate in a 60-90-minute Zoom focus group for a multi-institutional medical education study geared towards understanding faculty perceptions around the purpose of undergraduate medical education. All school of medicine faculty are invited to participate.


We are exploring the challenges of learning in medical school and how faculty experience and react to the specific challenges of teaching in undergraduate medical education. We aim to understand these experiences so that we can enhance the efficacy and efficiency of undergraduate medical education.


Learn more about the focus group here.
