About

The mission of continuing education at the medical school is to develop and promote high quality, evidence-based continuing education at our affiliated healthcare organizations that addresses professional practice gaps of learners and results in improved physician, healthcare provider, and healthcare team knowledge, competence, performance, and patient outcomes.

Activities are planned based on needs assessments and encompass topics across the full scope of practice of our learners. Specifically, this encompasses clinical medicine, patient safety and quality improvement, medical education, biomedical research, clinical research, community research, education research, leadership, advocacy, professionalism, and ethics.

Activities address the needs of health care providers practicing the disciplines represented in Southwest Michigan. A full gamut of activities are offered, including individual courses, single and multi-day courses, regularly scheduled series, and live internet offerings. Activities incorporate interactive didactic sessions, small group and large group discussions, and other learning methodologies.

The Office of Continuing Education provides continuing education consultative services for hospitals and other health care organizations to facilitate high quality, evidence-based continuing education throughout Southwest Michigan.
