M.D. with Distinction in Medical Education
On January 30, 2008 the development of the MD with Distinction in Medical Education program officially began. The MD with Distinction in Medical Education Program provides UTHSCSA medical students with an opportunity to spend part of their medical school career participating in activities focused on different components of teaching and educational research.
The students, faculty and staff who helped with the development of the program are pictured and identified below. Without the assistance of those pictured, the MD with Distinction in Medical Education would never have reached completion.
The program was officially approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board on April 21, 2009.
