Welcome to our October Newsletter,


As the vibrant hues of autumn surround us, we find ourselves fully immersed in the rhythm of the new academic year. The echoes of our annual kick-off event continue to resonate in our daily interactions and throughout our fall calendar, a testament to the enthusiasm and energy that define our community. Let's harness this season of change to fuel our commitment to growth, collaboration, and the pursuit of excellence. Together, we'll navigate this academic year's exciting opportunities and challenges, forging a path towards personal and professional development.

Annual Fall Retreat


On September 15, 2023, we hosted our Annual Fall Retreat.  This year's topic was Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education, with a keynote address from Weiwei Pan, PhD, of Harvard’s School of Engineering.  Dr. Pan’s outline set the stage for lively discussions on Artificial Intelligence's pivotal role in healthcare and medical education. Our attendees engaged in dynamic small breakout groups on health equity, data science, educational innovations, and diagnostic reasoning. As a result of the overwhelming interest in AI during the retreat, the Academy is assembling an AI in Medical Education Innovation Group which will provide ongoing faculty development sessions dedicated to the topic. Additionally, the Academy will partner with the Offices of Graduate and Undergraduate Medical Education offices to offer GME and UME Educators professional development.
