Description
The Medical Student Educators Development Institute (MSEDI), run by the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM), offers training, tools, and mentorship for faculty who educate medical students. This 12-month fellowship is particularly suited to educators seeking to advance into medical student education leadership. Fellows develop skills in scholarship, leadership, and curriculum development while building lasting relationships with peers and Institute faculty.
Training covers developing family medicine curricula, directing medical school courses, evaluating students, supporting challenging learners, and delivering effective feedback. Fellows also learn about career advising, recruiting and maintaining preceptor networks, and sustaining wellness and work-life balance. In-person sessions and virtual mentor meetings support the completion, submission, and presentation of a scholarly project at the STFM Conference on Medical Student Education.
