Medical Education

Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Medical Education at SIU Medicine. We serve and support academic and research faculty as they seek to promote a future generation of health care leaders and providers.  


We’re happy to work with any faculty member interested in educational development or scientific research, as well as anyone aiming to improve the impact of their curriculum and teaching style. We offer and assist with strategies such as problem-based learning, distance learning, educational technology, performance-based assessments and professional competencies.
