The Educator Development Program
The Educator Development Program assists the UMass Chan Medical School educators with increasing their teaching and learning effectiveness by providing a central location for medical education resources and self-guided online modules.
Medical Education Quick Modules: Click on the links below the photos to view a growing list of short, instructional modules. All Residents, Fellows, and other non-faculty instructors who teach UMass Chan students are asked to complete the survey at the end of each module to verify your participation for the medical school. In addition, please refer to the list of educational resources. Contact Lindsay N Turner PhD, OUME Curriculum Director, with any questions.
