Medical Education Fellowship

Mission
Our mission is to develop fellows who are both knowledgeable in the essential areas of medical education and who are ready to improve medical education within Emergency Medicine.

General Description
The program focuses on design and administration of educational programs (graduate and undergraduate medical education programs), curriculum development, effective feedback, mentorship, learner assessment, and development as a skilled educator across various settings.
The duration is 1-2 years (2 year fellows complete MEHP degree).

Advanced Degrees/Other Education
Fellows can apply for the Masters in Education for the Health Professions at Johns Hopkins School of Education. They can also apply to the ACEP Teaching Fellowship or take courses through the Johns Hopkins Faculty Development Office.

General Goals
The Education Fellowship is designed to address the following core objectives:

• Fellows will work under the direction of a program leader to learn the essential components of residency and undergraduate medical administration, including regulatory guidelines, certification maintenance, and programmatic structural requirements.
• Fellows will develop skills in curricular development, needs assessment, research design, and implementation of curricular advances into educational programs (UME, GME, APP, Faculty).
• Fellows will understand programmatic and learner assessment and participate in feedback sessions for learners in the role of an Acting Assistant Program Director.
• Fellows will develop leadership skills to function as an educational leader in the departmental program.
• Fellows will develop a diverse set of educator skills through the creation of educational materials delivered across varied settings (large group didactic, small group case discussion, simulation).

Other Possible Areas For Focused Goals

• Simulation

• Evidence Based Medical Education

Fellows will work under the directors to learn EBME and how to integrate EBME into clinical practice, understand EMBE vs EBM, principles of critical appraisal, and the 5

As of EBM to answer a clinical question.
