Division of Medical Education Research Support

The Division of Medical Education Research Support is the academic home of the Asano-Gonella Center for Research in Medical Education and Health Care. Center researchers developed and maintain the Jefferson Longitudinal Study of Medical Education and instruments including the Jefferson Scale of Empathy and the Disease Staging severity classification which have been used in the US and internationally to measure medical education outcomes and physician competence, and document quality and cost of health care. The Center combines service to the Jefferson community with a broad spectrum of research studies and other externally funded projects.
