C-MEd Forum registration is now closed. Stay tuned for updates!
The Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion is proud to host the Compassion in Medical Education (C-MEd) Forum, offering a unique opportunity for other schools of medicine to learn about innovative empathy and compassion programming and curricula directly from UC San Diego experts. The goal: to help attendees transform learning at their respective institutions.
C-MEd is open to all health care professionals, with a focus on medical educators, deans/academic leadership, and anatomy lab directors at schools of medicine, as well as clinicians at teaching hospitals.
