Testimonials
The MHPE Program at UIC equipped me with the incredible grounding to have a focused career in assessment, to always engage in scholarly teaching, assessment and leadership, and to maximize opportunities for scholarship. It was this training that allowed me to go from a new hire, Assistant Professor in 2009 to a Full Professor as of 2020 as an educator. The faculty are incredibly dedicated to the development of the Health Professions Education leaders and scholars of tomorrow.
