Twenty-first century medical education combines the strengths of traditional classroom and clinical instruction with innovative approaches to teaching and assessment, ensuring graduates develop strong clinical skills and professional competencies.
The Office of Medical Education supports faculty in meeting these evolving expectations. Because many physicians, health care providers, and scientists have not received formal training in education, continued development in curriculum design, teaching strategies, and assessment methods is vital. FIU Medicine provides dedicated resources to help faculty enhance these essential skills.
The professional development team offers mentoring and faculty development programs, coordinates resources across FIU Medicine and FIU, identifies external learning opportunities, and delivers consultations as well as in-person and virtual sessions. Faculty are encouraged to suggest additional programs to support their growth. For more information, contact a team member or email comlearn@fiu.edu.
