Fellows
in Medical Education Program
Since 1995, OED
has hosted International Fellows in Medical Education. Many of these have
been selected and supported by the Educational Commission on Foreign Medical
Graduates/Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and
Research (ECFMG/FAIMER) International Fellowships in Medical Education
program. Others have been supported by the World Health Organization (WHO)
and similar national or international programs.
Fellows are in
residence from a few weeks to 18 months. Typically, they stay for 6-12
months. Depending on their particular circumstances, they are involved in
medical education activities relevant to their needs. All are included in
OED’s Scholars in Education faculty development program. Usually they also
attend workshops, such as the facilitator training workshops, and become a
small group facilitator for one or more IMC courses.
Hosting foreign
Fellows has had a positive influence on OED faculty and
staff as well as other medical
educators on campus. The Fellows bring a fresh perspective on the challenges of medical education around the world, and often give us new ways
of looking at our own work. Several have published articles related to
research or educational experiences encountered during the Fellowships.
