Senior associate dean's message

Welcome! I view our trainees as partners in an educational journey to becoming competent and confident clinicians providing hope and contributing to the health and well-being of every patient.

Key elements of the learning and working environment include:

• What: Providing superlative care to every patient every day (patient-centered).
• How: Through integrated clinical practice, education, and research, understanding that these are inextricably linked and necessary for quality patient care. Providing a structured yet flexible approach to teaching and timely assessment of the six domains of clinical competency, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and a lifelong commitment to learning, and community service.
• Where: Bedside to boardroom. Direct-collaborative patient care with a dedicated clinician-educator in an environment that is non-threatening and nurturing (learner-focused). Just as the key element in caring for the patient is caring about the patient, so too, the key element in education is caring about the learner.
• Who: Diverse, dedicated educators and learners, engaged in disciplined thought, taking disciplined action, partnering with our stakeholders.
• Why: Our pursuit of excellence creates value. This value is for our learners, faculty, institution, and most importantly, for our patients! The values which guide our education mission include respect, integrity, compassion, healing, teamwork, innovation, excellence, and stewardship.

I look forward to meeting each of you!
