Job Description Summary

Postdoctoral fellows in medical education will be required to complete a focused study
of human anatomy through participation in required weekly didactics. After acceptance,
the fellow will be assigned a primary mentor in gross anatomy and secondary mentor
determined by the fellow’s identified secondary interest (ex: embryology, histology,
neuroanatomy). Mentors will provide individual assessment and feedback in knowledge
acquisition and will assist fellows in preparation of teaching materials for select lectures,
laboratories and/or team-based learning sessions. Fellows will be expected to acquire
human dissection skills through mentored preparation of prosections, used for student
instruction, and required teaching hours in the human anatomy dissection lab. In the
dedicated year of training, postdoctoral fellows should acquire a strong foundation of
knowledge in anatomic sciences to support their development as future faculty
members in an integrated medical sciences curriculum. Postdoctoral fellows will
participate in curriculum planning and evaluation by inclusion in preclerkship
governing/planning committees and student feedback sessions. Fellows will be
encouraged to participate in development and implementation of innovative pedagogical
approaches and learning platforms that improve student learning. Faculty development
opportunities will be supported by membership in our Academy of Medical Educators
and each postdoctoral fellow will complete a mentored scholarly project in medical
education with opportunities for publication and presentation at a national education
conference. Following assessment of fellows throughout the one-year program, faculty
mentors and directors will provide an objective letter of recommendation detailing the
strengths and skills of each fellow.
Applicants will be required to provide a CV, a personal statement of intent addressing
their interest in a career in education and relevant experiences, and 2-3 letters of
recommendation. Please send the above documents to Dr. Debra Hazen-Martin at
