Innovating Education For Better Health

THE RISE VISION
RISE aims to facilitate greater system-wide awareness of education innovation activities, resources, and funding opportunities and establish pathways that support Innovators from the pilot phase through implementation of their innovation into standard practice. This awareness and support will contribute to new ideas in teaching and learning that impact existing approaches, scale to other places and learner groups, and lead to changes in practice and health outcomes at Michigan Medicine and beyond.

Why we need health science education innovation
Our usual improvement work is limited by real and perceived constraints, and it often fails to move the needle in addressing the strategic priorities of our institution as well as the larger needs of society. Health science education innovation has the potential to translate a scalable education intervention into a simulated, applied, or real-world setting to transform existing science, health, or healthcare delivery.
Michigan Medicine is well positioned to lead these activities and build a diverse, inclusive Community of Practice. As a leading academic medical center, we have the freedom and opportunity to explore dramatically different ways of teaching and learning across the spectrum of medical and graduate education programs.
Our Community of Practice is built on three key elements: the development of innovators, supporting innovative ideas and deliberate cultivation of an innovation culture.
