The Division of Education and Training supports and guides the development and implementation of all educational programs in the WVU Department of Emergency Medicine. We seek to provide guidance, development and mentorship to faculty and learners in order to develop innovative, evidence based educational programs that help learners from all backgrounds thrive in emergency medicine.
The division provides oversight and support for the emergency medicine student clerkships, emergency medicine residency program, fellowship programs and the emergency medicine faculty development program. The division works to ensure that program leaders and faculty have the appropriate tools and training in the areas of curriculum development, evaluation and assessment, bedside teaching, accreditation requirements, remediation of learners having difficulty and educational research.
