Dr. Ajay K. Singh, who is Senior Associate Dean for Global and Continuing Education at Harvard Medical School and Director, Master of Medical Sciences in the Clinical Investigation (MMSCI) Programme, has visited Mongolia. During the visit, he signed an agreement with the Mongolian Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports to implement  a "Training the Teachers"  programme in the country.

Under the newly agreed programme, nearly 100 Mongolian medical college teachers with years of experience will be given training in teaching skills by the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Training to Teacher (T2T) faculty members. Those who finish the programme will receive certificates from the Harvard Medical School.

The Training to Teacher Program (T2T) is a 9-month-long blended programme which guides learners in their exploration of modern medical education pedagogy and innovative teaching techniques. The T2T program is an opportunity for instructors, from those less experienced to seasoned educators, to enhance their knowledge and skills in medical education. Throughout the course, participants will engage in individual and team projects which actively model instruction techniques.
