Medical Education Leadership Track (MELT)

Duke GME Medical Education Leadership Track (MELT) program is designed to help train new leaders in Medical Education. 

Through this one-year, longitudinal, interactive curriculum led by content experts, we are able to equip our residents and fellows with tools to help transform their clinical teaching and approach to medical education scholarship.

MELT’s curriculum includes 13 interactive workshops, led by Duke experts, fostering collaboration among participants from diverse specialties. Through didactics, workshops, and peer feedback, participants refine their teaching abilities within a synchronous virtual learning environment. Through this interactive curriculum, participants train to become new leaders in medical education by gaining essential skills in areas such as: 

  • Adult learning theory and active learning strategies
  • Effective lecturing and delivering engaging presentations
  • Providing constructive feedback and remediation
  • Promoting inclusive and equal opportunities in education
  • Teaching with technology and optimizing AI tools
  • Career planning for education leadership roles

In these hands-on workshops, you'll have opportunities to practice new skills and receive feedback through active learning activities. Supporting materials will be provided through an online platform. One of the program's key components is an educational project, along with mentorship from various Duke leaders in medical education.
