|PROGRAM |STRENGTHS |SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS |

|Masters in Health Professions Education |Courses are directly applicable to medical education (n=5) |More attention to the needs of individual students |

|University of Illinois at Chicago. |Faculty are outstanding (n=7) and accessible |On-line courses are "practical" but the experience was personally |

| |Meet phenomenal medical educators and have many opportunities to network with |much richer while attending the classes. |

| |individuals in all health disciplines (n=5) |Some classes better taught than others, most very good, but a few |

| |Classmates are from all over the world (n=3) |could be restructured or dropped from "required" classes. |

| |Flexible course schedule (n=5) |Thesis was very time-consuming and the mentorship could have been |

| |Well known program with an excellent reputation |better. My advisor made revision after revision, about 8 times. It|

| |It is adult learning at its best - a framework is provided but what drives the |was a nightmare. |

| |learning is the challenges you experience at your own institution |More structure to thesis study |

| | |Having educators and other health professionals besides MD's in |

| | |program provides a valuable balance. I would suggest the program |

| | |applicants |

|University Of Illinois at Urbana Champaign | |I would drop one or two of the non HPE classes. exp: strategic HR|

|University of Toronto |Association with the Wilson Centre |Needed more of a medical perspective but physician classmates made|

|Ontario Institute of Studies in Education | |this better |

|Masters in Human Resource Development with an emphasis in |Strong web-based platform with syn classes |None |

|Health Profession Education |Strong UIUC Masters in HR department | |

|Stanford University |surgical education |education |

|Masters in Academic Medicine |Courses are directed to medical education specifically |None so far |

|University of Southern California |Flexibility of the schedule -- don't have to take all the classes in order | |

|Keck School of Medicine |Faculty is excellent -- they have been teaching in this program for a while and have | |

| |been in the on-line format for enough time to have the "bugs" worked out | |

|Masters of Adult Education |There is a strong background of adult education and distance education at Penn State |It would be nice to have one course that tied the masters’ studies|

|Penn State University |University. |directly to healthcare applications. There were a number of health|

| |The online distance format allows for schedule flexibility while still providing a |professionals in my courses which helped to fill this need for me,|

| |high degree of interaction among students and instructors. |but this will vary among courses |

| |Interacting with students from different areas in adult education gave me a broad | |

| |perspective on the application of the knowledge and skills and taught me unique ways | |

| |of looking at the course content | |

|Master of Medical Education |Ability to work with physician's schedules |  |

|University of Iowa |Most of the classes were tailored to be clinically applicable | |

|Masters in Education and Adult Education |Broad, solid exposure to adult education |Not focused on medical education per se although I had the freedom|

|University of Georgia, Athens | |to focus most of my class projects on medical education issues |

|University of Pittsburgh | | |

|Alberta, Canada | | |

|PROGRAM |ADVICE |

|Masters in Health Professions Education |JUST DO IT! |

|University of Illinois at Chicago. |Strongly recommend anyone doing this start your thesis or project very early during your coursework and get the damn thing done! |

| |Do a hybrid. Learning on line has its set of rewards but the classroom vibe and excitement is not to be missed. |

| |The core courses should be taught in order - they actually build on one another. (501-Intro to Issues in HPE, 503-Curriculum and |

| |Evaluation, 502- Instruction and 504-Assessment and Leadership and Organization). I might also consider the idea of changing 502/3 to be |

| |Curriculum/Instruction and Assessment/Evaluation. I can see advantages to both ways. |

| |It's an excellent program but quite rigorous. The course work and thesis can be quite time consuming. |

| |On campus is easier and quite doable. I found it easier to get work done while taking time off from practice than when taking classes on |

| |line and mixing it with work and family time. Best to come in with a thesis in mind and make every paper/project along the way the |

| |background for the thesis if at all possible. |

| |Go for it. Clear it with your spouse/partner - it takes time get funding/protected time from your institution |

| |Make sure you have enough protected time |

| |Overall it was excellent, but chose your thesis advisor with caution. Ask other students, grads, etc. who to select. |

| |Worth every lost vacation day used to complete it on site. |

| |Seek advisement on Thesis early in program. |

| |It will likely take longer then the anticipated time to complete especially if you try to maintain a normal clinical practice |

| |Go for it. Be proactive with thesis committee and set deadlines |

|Masters of Science Education |It was a very good and useful program. |

|University of Southern California |Superb resources throughout the university. |

|Rossier School of Education |It is important to understand the amount of work required so that you can effectively manage your time. |

| |It would be helpful to have the support of your department in pursuing these activities. |

|Masters of Education |Good program - not overly burdensome |

|University Of Illinois at Urbana Champaign |Mentors, mentors, mentors. Get a mentor and stick with them. Doing a masters is nothing if you don't have someone you can ask |

| |questions after you are done |

|Masters of Medical Education |Go through the Wilson centre |

|University of Toronto |A broader, liberal perspective, lots of reading and writing required |

|Ontario Institute of Studies in Education | |

|Masters in Human Resource Development with an emphasis in Health |If you can, talk to graduates of the program to see what they liked and what they did not like. |

|Profession Education | |

|University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign/Springfield | |

|Master of Arts in Liberal and Integrative Studies |This degree program is not specific to medical education; rather, the student creates a course of study to be approved and mentored by |

|University of Illinois at Springfield |multiple faculty. The key issue was establishing a link with medical educators outside of UIS. My degree was essentially mentored |

|Focus on Surgical Education through Southern Illinois University |through Reed Williams for content and direction, while my degree supervisor at UIS primarily helped with administrative issues. |

|Department of Surgery | |

|Masters in Education |Outstanding general education program with great teachers and resources. However, you must go out of your way to tailor the program to |

|Stanford University |what you want and to specifically find medical resources. |

|Masters in Academic Medicine |  |

|University of Southern California | |

|Keck School of Medicine | |

|Masters of Adult Education |This is an intense program which may take more than two years to complete if pursuing it while working full-time. Make sure that you are |

|Penn State University |prepared for the time commitment because the courses are paced over 13-week semesters requiring frequent assignments and interaction via |

| |asynchronous and some synchronous communication formats. |

|Master of Medical Education |  |

|University of Iowa | |

|Masters in Education and Adult Education |One needs to be highly motivated and self-directed to do well in a fully online program. |

|University of Georgia, Athens | |

|Master of Science in Education with concentration in Higher Education |I would talk with the advisors and have an idea of interests for research. |

|University of Rochester | |

|Warner School of Education | |

|Masters in Medical Education |  |

|University of Pittsburgh | |

|Masters in Education |Need to discuss with chair of the education department what your short and long term goals are and then tailor the program to your needs. |

|Lehigh University, Pennsylvania | |

|Masters in Education |Flexibility of an on-line only format |

|Cincinnati, Ohio | |

|Masters of Education in Teaching with an Emphasis in the Health Sciences |Excellent format and times are usually convenient. |

|University of Houston | |

|Masters in Medical Education |Would recommend it, must be able to devote the time, self discipline is required! |

|Dundee, Scotland | |

|Imperial College at St. Mary's Hospital |It is very expensive, requires considerable travel and time away from work but the experience is worth every penny. |
