Methodist Hospital Education Institute (TMHEI)
The Methodist Hospital Education Institute (TMHEI) was established by The Methodist Hospital System (TMHS) in 2006 upon the recommendation of an interdisciplinary team of healthcare practitioners charged by The Methodist Hospital Board of Directors with creating a vision for health professions education and training in The Methodist Hospital System. The purpose of the TMHEI is to provide the best education and training to all disciplines in the hospital, enabling the best patient care. TMHEI will seek to support the development of a learning healthcare environment that is innovative and applies the best evidence in education and research to foster safety, quality, and value for the patients and staff the hospital serves.
As part of the world's largest medical center, The Methodist Hospital is committed to excellence in research, teaching, patient care and the advancement of the art and science of medicine. Our Office of Continuing Medical Education will provide local, national and international education concentrated in areas where our clinicians and scientists have recognized excellence and where our community has the greatest need.
