The overall goal of the Education Scholars Program (ESP) is to enhance participants’ capacity as education scholars. Working collaboratively to solve common challenges encountered in health professions education, participants will tackle the most pressing issues in: curriculum and program development, program evaluation, and education leadership and system change. This will be accomplished through collaborative and highly applied projects, small and large group exercises, guided observations and other practically-oriented tasks that promote application of theoretical concepts to participants’ own education contexts. Additionally, individual coaching sessions scheduled throughout the program will support participants in their growth as education scholars and leaders. The program is deliberately designed to build connection and community within and beyond the program.

The ESP consists of 5 units. Each unit contains the following:
– five 3-day module (9:00 am – 4:00 pm)
– two or three 3-hour sessions (1:00-4:00 pm) approximately one month apart
– one 1:1 coaching session (self-scheduled)
