Healthcare Education Scholarship Program

A new Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ faculty-development initiative is the Healthcare Education Scholarship program. The majority of faculty in health profession’s education lacks formal training in education or education management. Yet, the current climate of a rapidly changing educational environment along with the requirements to meet continually evolving accreditation standards requires formally trained educational leaders. The leadership of Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ recognizes this need and has created a program which will fund selected Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ faculty to matriculate through a Master in Health Professions Education (MHPE) or Master in Education for Health Professionals (MEHP) program of their choosing.

The goal of this program is to decrease the economic burden of seeking an advanced degree in education while producing educational leaders in the health professions who can manage change within their fields, overcome organizational barriers, and effectively direct the future of healthcare delivery systems.

Refer to the policy/procedure for additional information, including Faculty Eligibility, Faculty Responsibilities, Institutional and Program Requirements, and Approval Process. In addition, an Application is available to apply for the Healthcare Education Scholarship.
