Medical Education Week in the UVA School of Medicine is a wonderful tradition. We have a full week of highlighting the scholarship of our faculty, house staff, and students in the areas of education research and innovation. Another highlight is hearing from the annual Brodie Scholar. It is through programs such as this that we can continue to advance our educational programs, advance the field, and remain on the leading edge.
Here’s the week’s schedule of events. Hope to see you there!
