The Master of Science in Education program in Professional Health Education, with an optional concentration in The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Health-Based Instruction, seeks to provide support to faculty teaching in professional education programs (e.g., Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Podiatry). In conjunction with faculty and administration from the Kornberg School of Dentistry and the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, faculty from the College of Education and Human Development created a 20-month executive-style program supporting professional faculty who have credentials for the content they teach, but do not have knowledge regarding teaching and learning theories or case-based instruction methods. This program is unique in that it does not solely emphasize instruction and research, but focuses on case-based, evidence-based instruction and clinical care. After completion of all core and concentration courses, students engage in teaching practicum, which is followed by a capstone research project that is presented to faculty and students in the program. An optional concentration is designed to support students interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning in health-based instruction.

Upon completion of the M.S.Ed. program, students will be able to:

• apply evidence-based healthcare principles to teaching future professionals in their field of study;
• utilize both didactic and clinical adult learning theories when teaching future professionals in their field of study;
• design, present, and assess case-based instructional modules within their field of study;
• provide leadership in innovative curricular development, including critiquing curricular change;
• implement effective coaching techniques in their teaching;
• provide effective group facilitation and consultation in their teaching;
• apply current concepts of motivation in education to their teaching; and
• develop a viable study of teaching within their field of study.
