Average Course Rating

Participants will engage in a three-course series capstone to culminate the MEHP program. They will employ principles and concepts from their MEHP educational experiences to develop, implement, and disseminate a research or evaluation project focused on an issue of importance to health professions education. Their projects will be performed under the guidance of assigned capstone instructors and the director with support from fellows’ institutional sponsors. In the first course of the series, fellows will focus on the identification of a problem of urgent concern, establish a gap in the current knowledge or thinking about the problem, and articulate a compelling hook to convince readers that this gap requires attention. They will explore the literature to identify the methodology, the method, and instruments for the project. They will prepare and submit the IRB for their home institutions and prepare the Hopkins IRB for their instructor to submit as the project PI. This course will be complete with the receipt of Hopkins IRB approval. Fellows begin preparation of a scholarly manuscripts of their work for peer-reviewed dissemination or potential publication. Fellows submit deliverables according to the course schedule to their instructors and consult as needed with their institutional sponsors. They also submit progress on their overarching Specialization Portfolio. Fellows may build on educational projects begun in previous courses with the approval of their instructors.
