Larry Gruppen, PhD: U-M Master of Health Professions Education

Dr. Larry Gruppen, a psychologist and a longtime advocate for medical education at the University of Michigan Medical School, shares insights about the Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) program.

As the founding director, Dr. Gruppen highlights how the program's competency-based, learner-driven approach empowers students to design their own learning plans and integrate their educational roles into their day-to-day responsibilities. This flexibility, he explains, allows for a diverse cohort of learners, including non-clinicians and early-career professionals, to acquire essential skills while balancing their existing commitments.
