Exemplary health sciences education leads to optimal patient care and societal health outcomes.
Professional Development Your Way
FAME presents a variety of programs that promote educator skill development through reflection, peer observation, large group learning and faculty learning communities.
Most programs are taught by faculty subject matter experts within The Ohio State University College of Medicine, including Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
