The Faculty Scholars Program at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine helps faculty members advance their teaching skills for effective delivery of high-quality, evidence-based medical education.

As a participant in the program, you commit to attending in person educational workshops for the academic year. Classes contain inquiry-based, interactive content, as well as self-guided, independent reading assignments geared toward professional development.

Topics include learning theories, collaborative learning methods, instructional models for designing courses, and how to be an effective educational scholar to present and publish your work.

To complete the program, all participants submit a departmental teaching plan demonstrating knowledge of utilization and application of class content.
