Medical Education Associates

Medical Education Associates 

The predoctoral Medical Education Associateship (MEA) is a 52-week academic medicine immersion for students selected to serve between their 3rd and 4th years of medical training.  During their term of service, MEAs function as integral members of the Departments of Primary Care and OMM, assisting with all phases of department operations, including teaching, assessment, facilitation, tutoring, and mentorship of preclinical medical students. In addition, students develop a scholarly project for publication or presentation at a national conference and enrich their clinical skills in primary care, osteopathic manipulative medicine and specialty areas of interest.

• MEAs receive mentorship from experienced Clinical Faculty across Heritage College departments and from the Office of Faculty Development to develop skills as effective junior faculty members.
• MEAs receive a tuition waiver, student health insurance, and a generous stipend throughout their fourth and fifth years of medical school.
• MEAs are primarily involved in group facilitation, clinical skills labs, and other medical knowledge teaching.
