Medical education has been experiencing a marked paradigm shift. In the US academic health care environment, educational activities are weighed and considered important factors for promotion. Therefore, clinician-educators can flourish in any specialty field. The Harvard Macy Institute has offered longitudinal programs to foster the growth and development of leaders and innovators in healthcare professionals' education across the nation & world for more than 20 years since its foundation in 1994. A three-day intensive course for residents and fellows-in-training was started in 2012 to meet the need to train future faculty leaders. This program is entitled; "Program for Post-Graduate Trainees: Future Academic Clinician-Educators."
