The
19th Annual IAMSE Meeting is just around the corner, and we would
like you to get to know some of our keynote speakers! We have four plenary
speakers this year, and we hope you enjoy their presentations.
Suzanne Stensaas: From Hobby Time to Real Time:
Integrating Technology in the Curriculum [University of Utah]
Suzanne
Stensaas is a neuroscientist who since l986 has been primarily involved in
teaching neuroscience, pathology and the use of new technologies in medical
education while on the faculty at the University of Utah and Weill Cornell
Medical College. Since retiring in 2012 she has been involved with creating a
neurology curriculum for Africa, a series of brain dissection videos and
consulting. Using videodiscs and computers she created a project, Slice of
Life, which morphed into an annual workshop of medical educators interested in
sharing their uses of technology. Self-described as a “living fossil”, she
spans the geologic record of the evolution and extinction of projects and
platforms.
Leslie Fall: Integration through Collaboration [Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth]
Dr.
Fall serves as the Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the Geisel School
of Medicine at Dartmouth, and is an inaugural member of Geisel’s Academy of
Master Educators. She is a Professor of Pediatrics (Hospital Medicine) as also
serves as the Vice Chair for Education in the Department of Pediatrics. Dr.
Fall has been deeply involved in the continuum of medical education serving as
a pediatric clerkship director and residency program director, as well as
leading many faculty development efforts throughout her career. A Geisel
graduate herself, she completed a medical education fellowship at Michigan
State University (1995) and the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine
(ELAM) program for women (2013). Her innovative approach to teaching clinical
skills using a developmental coaching paradigm (www.doctor-coach.org), co-developed with
Dr. Kim Gifford, has resulted in numerous invited national workshops, visiting
professorships and recent publications.
Dr.
Fall is also the co-founder, President and Executive Medical Director of MedU (www.med-u.org). Founded in 2006, MedU is a
non-profit social enterprise with a mission to advance medical education
through collaborative development, dissemination and research of
technology-enabled medical education programs. The majority of US and Canadian
medical schools subscribe to at least one of MedU’s virtual patient courses
(CLIPP, SIMPLE, fmCASES, CORE) with over 30,000 registered new users per year
and over 1,000,000 case sessions completed annually – a success which far
exceeds that of any other e-learning program in medical education anywhere in
the world. Dr. Fall and her fellow co-founder, Dr. Norm Berman, have received
numerous national medical education awards for their work developing MedU. Dr.
Fall lives in Hanover, NH with her husband and three children.
Deirdre Bonnycastle: Reading Your PowerPoint Isn’t Teaching
