Center for Educational Development in Health
The Center for Educational Development in Health is invited to move from the Harvard School of Public Health to the Health Policy Institute at Boston University. The CEDH team has taught courses on Educational Design and Evaluation at Harvard and Boston University since 1968 and authored several highly regarded, widely used texts on competency-based education and training.
“The wealth of this course is as a candle hidden under a bushel. I submit that this course should be known and readily available through the whole university as an ‘inter-school’ program….To briefly relate my personal experience, teaching is no longer arbitrary. Given a subject to teach, a lecture to present, a course to plan, there are logical and systematic approaches to these problems which firstly are student centered.” — Elliott V. Miller, MD, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital
Center for Science & Medical Journalism
The Center for Science & Medical Journalism at Boston University College of Communication is dedicated to improving the quality of science and medical journalism worldwide. Students and veteran journalists are trained to recognize, investigate, analyze, and explain scientific and medical findings and issues.
"Typically students in this program are very intelligent people with amazing backgrounds. Because of this, I always feel compelled to have my ideas very together when I come to class, especially if I'm presenting something. My classmates as much as my professors have pushed me to be a better student."—Steven Bedard, Class of '00, is now a content developer for WGBH Interactive, the online extension of WGBH-TV Public Television to Boston.
