Including students in course redesign pays dividends to the institution, the faculty involved, and the students themselves. A central component of the faculty support team was the medical education student fellow, who served as a liaison between course coordinators and the educational technology team. Fellows were recruited annually via a national search and had already completed at least the first two years of medical school. Each fellow served for one full calendar year and received a stipend with travel funding. During their year at UMMSM, fellows became trusted members of the internal medical education community and regularly interacted with the academic deans.
