Educating Educators

 Formal education opportunities

A disclaimer: We cannot hope to have covered all possible education opportunities formally available to medical educators nationwide or worldwide. Below is a sample of those our local educations provided to us when asked on the topic. If you know of others that other medical educators would benefit from knowing let us know and we’ll add them in. We hope this guide provides some useful ideas but does not supplant your own rigorous research.
