Curriculum
The curriculum for the MMHPE program has been constructed with the input from the course and program directors. The curriculum is designed to prepare educational leaders in various medical and health professions organizational settings. The program provides advanced education in the areas of learning, assessment, curriculum, instruction, research, evaluation, leadership and professionalism with an emphasis on real-world, practical applications.
The 31 credit hour distance learning program is designed to be completed in four 16 week terms and one 12 week term. Students will take two courses at a time over the 16 week term with the exception of the final spring term when the one credit Capstone is also taken.
Students complete coursework and interact with instructors and classmates through a distance education format utilizing the Blackboard (Bb) Learning Management System. Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded the Master of Medical and Health Professions Education (MMHPE) degree and may use the initials MMHPE after their name.
Educational Format
Courses are delivered entirely online asynchronously with the occasional synchronous session. Students complete the practicum virtually at EVMS. The practicum involves building upon didactic knowledge to design a completely online course.
