The Office’s educational programs are guided by the Educational Leadership Steering Committee (ELSC). The ELSC is constituted by the residency program and physician scientist training program directors; selected faculty members involved with administering the department’s clinical fellowships and medical school curriculum, and at least three departmental representatives of the WUSM Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences. Individual members may serve more than one role. The ELSC is advised by selected trainees, departmental and hospital administrators, program coordinators, and support staff.
