Fellows as Clinician Educators

We encourage all fellows to serve as educators during their training. For those with a strong interest in medical education, the University of Utah offers a Certificate Program in Medical Education which could be completed online during fellowship.

In addition to formal education, the clinician educator focus also offers qualified candidates to pursue hands on experience and teaching skills development. Our curriculum includes:

• One-on-one teaching with residents and medical students during daily clinical activities
• Preparation and presentation of lectures for didactic and research conferences
• Assisting in teaching the nephrology curriculum to first year medical students in our University of Utah School of Medicine
• Authorship of medical literature reviews and book chapters
• A curriculum development project and/or education scholarship project
