On-line applications will be available in February 2007 at http://www.harvardmacy.org		On January 8, 2005, 60 educators and almost as many faculty from institutions around the world began their participation in the eleventh annual Harvard Macy Institute Program for Educators in the Health Professions, held at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. These 17 days in residence at Harvard (11 days in January and 6 days in May) provided a unique opportunity for a small group of participants to concentrate exclusively on developing their skills as healthcare educators. With guidance from Harvard Macy faculty, the participants exchanged and cultivated new ideas about adult learning and applied those theories and methods to an educational project that they designed to benefit their institution. The networks forged between participants and faculty during the program were invaluable. The educational project is a critical component that connects program concepts and themes. Participants pursue projects related to one or more of five educational areas: curriculum development, faculty development, teaching and learning, evaluation and assessment, and technology in education. Projects fall across the continuum of healthcare education—undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education—and are designed to deliver positive impacts on global healthcare education. The information represented here is the culmination of months devoted to educational scholarship by a sampling of our 2005 participants. During the May 2005 session, these 17 posters, along with many others, were presented at a traditional poster session hosted by the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
