To advocate for the needs of learners—and by extension, our patients—in order to foster educational innovations that address important issues confronting society.
Meetings

Membership
In addition to senior administrative representation, faculty representatives from the entire spectrum of the department’s education mission—from undergraduate medical education to postgraduate education and continuing professional development—as well as the different sites involved in the department’s educational efforts, are present on the committee.
