Annual MELA Education Days

MELA hosts Education Day twice a year, in the fall and again in the spring. Each event brings together faculty, educators, and learners from across the School of Medicine for a keynote address, workshops, and opportunities to connect with colleagues. Past keynotes have explored topics shaping medical education today, from integrating gender and sex considerations into the curriculum to the role of artificial intelligence.
