  Dresden educators work to sustain progress while navigating complex environment
Academic, clinical, and administrative leaders from the Technical University of Dresden came to Boston for a week of discussions aimed at clarifying the university’s major challenges in academic medicine and determining how it will pursue its mission going forward. Prior to the German group’s arrival, HMI organized the Dresden team into four working groups, each of which focused on a particular concept: clinical education, research education, governance, and quality management. HMI also assembled a team of experts—from Harvard Medical School and other institutions—with experience in these areas and insight into how different models might be used in Dresden.
 
  US-EU-MEE program gives three students a new perspective on health care
Each spring HMI selects two or three students from a consortium of five medical schools for a one-month clinical training rotation at a partner institution across the Atlantic. The US-EU-MEE students follow the course of one of the host faculty’s patients through the health care system in that country. In this context, the patient’s care is viewed as a broadly interconnected system of health care delivery rather than as a narrowly clinical treatment of a disease.
