Center for Advanced Medical Learning (CAML)

Created in 2006, the Center for the Advancement of Medical Learning (CAML) is the hub for faculty development in teaching, learning and programs to support medical educators through the Center for Medical Education at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. CAML’s mission is to support the university’s medical community in its pursuit of excellence in learning, teaching and educational scholarship.

To achieve these aims, CAML offers a variety of activities and services for faculty, staff and students. These range from our iSCTL program in curriculum development to our Medical Education Grand Rounds and our Faculty Enrichment and Educational Development (FEED) Series, not to mention custom workshops and events.

CAML’s History

When Klara Papp, PhD, and Thomas Graber, PhD, launched CAML more than two decades ago, they instilled a commitment to medical educators that spans far into the future. Get to know our founders, and read transcripts of conversations with the late Dr. Graber.
