Maatsch Scholar Presentation
OMERAD Jack L. Maatsch Visiting Scholar in Medical Education Fund
The purpose of the Jack L. Maatsch Visiting Scholar in Medical Education Fund is to stimulate and support interaction around ideas and projects in medical education, with primary focus on the development and assessment of clinical competence related to the full span of professional training.
The program accomplishes this purpose through its support of visiting scholars to OMERAD in the College of Human Medicine. Distinguished visiting scholars provide a broader perspective from which faculty, students, and others may view their work, providing insights and experiences from other outstanding centers of medical education research and development.
