Announcing Important VUSM Organizational Changes
Multiple educational innovations in UME, GME and CME have prompted VUSM to review how to most effectively support the evolving educational mission. The Office for Teaching and Learning in Medicine (OTLM) was established in 2006 to provide educational expertise, curriculum support and educator development programs for the School of Medicine. The faculty and staff of OTLM are an extremely talented and collaborative group of individuals who have made significant contributions toward building a strong educational support infrastructure at VUSM.
