One of the missions of the Shapiro Institute for Education and Research is to drive innovative programs and address challenges confronting medical education on the national stage. Our Millennium Conference (MC) series, which began 25 years ago, is one of the major programs developed by the Institute to address major issues in medical education. The MC occurs biannually and brings together teams from eight schools across North America for a three-day session devoted to a particular topic or issue confronting medical education at the Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) and/or Graduate Medical Education (GME) level. In the two years between conferences, interested faculty from the MC come together to form task forces, which then engage in multi-institutional research emanating from discussions at the Conference.
