Master of Medical Sciences in Medical Education

The Master of Medical Sciences in Medical Education is a two-year program with two primary goals:
To give students a solid foundation in the theories and principles underpinning health professions education, such as the science of learning, strategies of curriculum development and education design, adult learning theories, integration of education technology and principles of assessment.
To provide students with comprehensive tools and protected time to engage in research on the most important issues in the field. Our research objective includes empirical work and hypothesis testing using quantitative and qualitative analysis.
The mission of the HMS Master of Medical Sciences in Medical Education (MMSc-Med Ed) is to give those who already excel in one of the health sciences disciplines an opportunity to turn their specialized knowledge and skill towards the advancement of health professions education. Through research, skill building and innovation, the MMSc-Med Ed program seeks to transform health professions education in the service of advancing health sciences and health care nationally and internationally. Graduates of our program are well-positioned to lead progress and make transformative change.
