Center For Education Research And Evaluation (CERE), part of the Office of Education and Scholarly Resources has three main purposes: a) to assist course directors and faculty in the development and implementation of effective and innovative educational programs, b) to promote advancement in medical education and graduate medical education research, and c) to develop new and innovative ways of providing evaluation mechanisms, largely through advanced technology efforts.

Ongoing feedback about the courses, educational programs, lectures, and educational materials that make up the curriculum is important to us. To collect opinions and suggestions throughout the year, students and residents may be asked to complete evaluation projects, participate in focus groups and other formal discussion sessions to assess various aspects of the curriculum, and/or review new materials that make up the curriculum. This helps to ensure that our programs and research efforts are of the highest quality.
