Our Mission
Why we need health science education innovation
Our usual improvement work is limited by real and perceived constraints, and it often fails to move the needle in addressing the strategic priorities of our institution as well as the larger needs of society.
Health science education innovation has the potential to translate a scalable education intervention into a simulated, applied or real-world setting to transform existing science, health or health care delivery. As a leading academic medical center, Michigan Medicine has the freedom and opportunity to explore dramatically different ways of teaching and learning across the spectrum of medical and graduate education.
