The overall goal of the DIME/uOSSC Healthcare Education Scholars Program is to enhance the knowledge of educators and foster a sense of academic scholarship in health care education. The program provides a theoretical scaffolding to activities our clinician educators take part in on a daily basis and promotes a deeper understanding of how these activities relate to our goal of producing more effective health care providers. We aim to inspire innovation and scholarship among the participants as well as to develop a local community of scholars who can support each other and ultimately provide leadership for the next generation of clinician educators.
