The Medical Scholars Symposium was created as a forum for the Medical Education Scholars (MES) class of 2002-2003 to continue working and learning together and to share their learning with other HSC faculty. The group applied for and received funding for 2003-2004 from the Scholarship in Education Allocations Committee (SEAC) and pursued the following objectives:

• Develop the education skills of the UNM SOM faculty using a literature-based curriculum
  
  
• Strengthen interdepartmental sharing of education resources and develop new opportunities for collaboration in education
  
  
• Develop, refine, and apply the skills learned during participation in the MES program
