Fellows in Educational Scholarship Program




The purpose of the Fellows in Educational Scholarship Program (FESP) is to create an identified cadre of faculty who will advance the educational programs in the School of Medicine through participation in educational scholarship.

Faculty participating in the program will focus on either a scholarly investigation of an educational issue or the development of an innovative educational program/curriculum. It is expected that participation in the FESP will contribute to educational excellence and innovation in the School of Medicine and also contribute to knowledge building in the field of health sciences education.
