Annenberg Center for Medical Education

The mission of the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Conference Center for Medical Education at Lankenau Hospital is to enhance communication of the art and science of medicine to health care providers and the public. The Annenberg Center is a state-of-the-art meeting facility that hosts educational events and presentations for physicians, physicians-in-training, researchers, and other healthcare professionals.

As a teaching hospital, Lankenau Hospital has distinctive characteristics that set it apart from other community-based hospitals. Medical education has been central to Lankenau Hospital's mission for more than 100 years. Today, medical education at Lankenau consists of two components:

• Graduate Medical Education (GME) Programs: Focusing on teaching physicians-in-training (medical students, residents and fellows) to become skilled clinicians and lifelong students of medicine.
• Continuing Medical Education (CME) Programs: Enhancing the knowledge and skills of practicing physicians in order to maintain high quality patient care.

Lankenau Hospital is committed to its tradition of advancing the practice of medicine through medical education. The Annenberg Foundation has invested in this mission of medical education at Lankenau. Through a generous $10 million grant, The Annenberg Foundation has helped to build and endow a dedicated facility with the technology, programs and staff needed to propel physician medical education into the 21st century.
