About Us

Curriculum fellows (CFs) are PhD-level scientists who are pursuing careers focused on teaching and improving science education through research. CFs work in various departments and programs at HMS and are engaged in developing and enhancing graduate and medical curriculum through: the support and improvement of current graduate courses, support of extramural student training grants, development of novel curriculum that covers biomedical and professional development topics, primary teaching of graduate, medical and continuing education students, and development of their own teaching skills and education-based research projects. The CF Program was developed in response to the recognized need for a "Program in Graduate Education to support initiatives in curriculum design, faculty development, and educational innovation" as outlined by the white paper, "Strategies for HMS education, prepared by the Strategic Advisory Group on Education" (SAGE, 2008).
