The Office of Educational Affairs (OEA) is responsible for the medical education program, including curricular development, evaluation and assessment; centralized management of the curriculum; overseeing and administering educational grants and research projects; supporting the teaching faculty through a centralized faculty development program; providing administrative support for education-related faculty committees; and scheduling space for classes, conferences, and meetings on the Health Sciences campus.
The Office of Educational Affairs also manages the Tufts Clinical Skills and Simulation Center, a 15,000 square foot training facility located at 136 Harrison Ave.
Specific curricular responsibilities of the OEA include: scheduling and administering the first- and second-year medical school academic programs, including Competency based Apprenticeship in Primary Care (CAP), Selectives and the Problem-Based Learning program. The OEA also coordinates specialized clinical programs such as Standardized Patient programs and a number of medical education electives.
