Abstract
Background: The Online Master's Degree in Education for Healthcare Professionals program, a collaboration of the University of Cincinnati Colleges of Medicine and Education, was launched nationally in 2002. The purpose of this survey-based, descriptive study was to describe the early outcomes of this new program.
Methods: Surveys were sent via email to 32 eligible students (students who have completed at least 6 of 12 required courses in the program) which included all 8 graduates.
Results: Based on 21 returns (66%) participants have had 19 journal publications, 99 national presentations, 13 teaching awards, 5 promotions, and acquisition of extramural funding for educational projects totaling over $3 million.
Conclusions: Based on early results, graduates of the program are productive in academic medical education. We anticipate that graduates of the program will have a significant impact on medical education and will achieve promotion and advancement at their institutions.
