Marc M. Triola, MD, FACP, Founding Director

Dr. Triola is the associate dean for educational informatics and a professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is the founding director of the Institute for Innovations in Medical Education, a multidisciplinary team of faculty educators, education scientists, and informaticians. The institute combines education strategies with new informatics solutions to connect patient care and education at NYU Langone in a research and innovation initiative that is translational, empowers transformational change in our school, and benefits our patients. Dr. Triola’s research focuses on precision education and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to efficiently personalize medical education to individual learners and give new insights to their programs and coaches. His lab develops new learning technologies and AI-driven educational interventions, and works to define educationally sensitive patient and system outcomes that can be used to assess the impact of training. The work of Dr. Triola and the Institute for Innovations in Medical Education have been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Department of Education, the Department of Defense, and the American Medical Association’s Accelerating Change in Medical Education program.
