Institute for Excellence in Education | Johns Hopkins Medicine

The mission of the Institute for Excellence in Education (IEE) is to promote, value and advance the educational mission of the School of Medicine while enhancing the school's leadership role in medical and biomedical education. To guide this mission, IEE has identified four guiding principles or "pillars" into which all of our decisions, work and programs are aligned.

For the 2020-2021 academic year, the IEE is highlighting the theme of “Respect, Teamwork and Civility: Inspiring Personalized Mentoring Relationships.”
