Teaching future medical leaders – continuing the MGH legacy

John Herman, MD, of MGH Psychiatry, leads an orientation session for new MGH residents and fellows.

Medical education has long been a cornerstone of the MGH mission – educating future leaders in the health care profession while providing the highest quality patient care and advancing breakthrough research. While the hospital is known internationally for teaching the best and brightest medical students and residents, the MGH also prides itself on teaching all health care professionals – from nurses and administrators to dietitians and support service personnel. Every day, in all corners of the MGH, "teaching moments" take place as one person shares knowledge with another. Highlighting some of the hospital's teaching programs, this special issue of Hotline is dedicated to the MGH's commitment to teaching all who are willing to learn and to those individuals devoted to furthering the MGH legacy of providing the finest education to the next generation.
