conference in Research and Innovations in Medical Education (RIME)

Due to the growing interest of educators and researchers in promoting and sharing innovations in medical education, the Research and Innovations in Medical Education (RIME) Conference began in January 2005. Building on the long standing tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration at the University, this workshop will serve to bring together a diverse group of educators and researchers across the University of Chicago's clinical, basic science, and social science departments to share and discuss interesting ongoing innovations and approaches to medical education. This workshop, co-sponsored by the Section of General Internal Medicine, the Center for Health and the Social Sciences, and the Pritzker School of Medicine, features both institutional and external educators and researchers whose work is focused on improvements and methods in medical education. This work could include but is not limited to the following: curriculum development or implementation, competency assessment and evaluation, simulation or observation studies, and policy or ethical dilemmas in medical training.

All workshops are held in L316-Lying-In on the first Thursdsay of the month from Noon to 1 PM. Lunch will be provided. If interested in presenting, contact Vineet Arora.
