The Medical Education Track Collaborative (METC) is a dynamic initiative within the Internal Medicine Residency program at the University of Iowa. Established in 2025, our mission is to foster collaboration and share resources among leaders of medical education tracks. Through this collaborative effort, we aim to advance the field of medical education by engaging in innovative educational strategies and high-quality research projects.
We actively seek partnerships with educators, clinicians, and researchers who are passionate about enhancing medical education. By working together, we can drive meaningful improvements in teaching methodologies and resident learning outcomes.
