Our Mission

CoMET (A Community of Medical Educators) is a trainee-designed, trainee-led, GME-sponsored initiative which started in 2016. Twice monthly 90-minute sessions will focus on both the development of practical teaching skills with structured opportunities for practice and feedback, as well as the opportunity to design and implement a medical education-focused scholarly project. Sessions will be facilitated by some of the health system’s most gifted educators.


Our goals for the programs are to:

  • Teach: Participants will leverage knowledge of core teaching skills to effectively educate learners in a variety of settings including in the classroom, at the bedside, and during procedures.

  • Discover: Participants will develop the skills necessary to produce respected scholarly work in education.

  • Inspire: Participants will be prepared to transition from trainee to faculty member in order to innovate and lead the next generation of medical trainees
