10th annual William Davidson 医疗 教育 Week kicks off today, with nearly 30 sessions lined up through Friday, including one full day dedicated to research.
医疗 教育 Week annually celebrates the achievements and research in medical education by faculty and staff at Oakland University William 博蒙特 School of Medicine, says Ann Voorheis-Sargent, Ph.D., director, OUWB Center for Excellence in 医疗 教育 (CEME).
The diverse and multifaceted program includes presentation of poster abstracts and prominent speakers from the medical education field who are invited to share insight and expertise. Nearly 30 sessions are scheduled throughout the week (the full schedule can be found by clicking 在这里). All sessions are being held online.
New elements for 2021 are a day dedicated to research, along with sessions intended to highlight OUWB’s LEAD program, 临床教学计划, the importance of embracing change. The theme of this year’s 医疗 教育 Week is “A Look Into the Future.”
“Our hope is that participants learn from each other, consider new methods of teaching, have access to new research,Voorheis-Sargent说.
OUWB’s 医疗 教育 week exists in large part because of the late William Davidson, a successful businessman and founder of Palace Sports and Entertainment. In late 2007 Davidson initiated plans to donate $1 million to 博蒙特 with the express direction that the money be used to support medical education under the direction of his physician and friend, 桑德尔Shoichet, M.D., FACP, 项目负责人, Internal Medicine Residency and medical director of Outpatient Clinics at 博蒙特 Hospital, 皇家橡树, associate professor of Internal Medicine at OUWB. 戴维森于2009年去世，享年86岁.
Davidson’s generosity and the vision of Shoichet — who co-chairs 医疗 教育 Week with Voorheis-Sargent — enabled 博蒙特 the opportunity to permanently endow faculty development, an area that many institutions recognize as important to an educational endeavor’s ongoing success, though one that often lacks adequate resources.
OUWB’s 医疗 教育 Week continues to evolve. This year, for example, features the new 研究 Day, set for Thursday.
“We felt it was a great opportunity for those who have been doing significant research to present their studies to OUWB,Voorheis-Sargent说. “It can sometimes be difficult to keep up with all of the great work others are doing, so this is an ideal setting to feature researchers from OUWB, 博蒙特, 和十大菠菜台子.”
Nine sessions are scheduled for 研究 Day, including “Biomarkers of Neurodegenerative Disease,” as well as “Cerebrovascular Impact of Chronic Smoking and Vaping: Mechanistic Insights, 生物的目标, Potential Countermeasures,” and “Machine Using Clinical Notes; Applications in Popular Health.”
医疗 教育 Week also accomplishes its mission is by sponsoring a nationally esteemed medical educator to be the week’s distinguished speaker in Davidson’s name.
The speaker this year is Leslie Rocher, M.D., professor of Internal Medicine at OUWB. Rocher previously served as senior vice president and Chief 医疗 Officer of 博蒙特 Hospital, 皇家橡树. Rocher’s presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, May 19, at 8 a.m.
