Terry Kind, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor of pediatrics and the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ (SMHS) new assistant dean for clinical education, is taking curriculum to task.
In her new role as assistant dean, Kind will focus on the clinical component of the M.D. program curriculum. Along with the Committee on Undergraduate Medical Education Curriculum, its subcommittees, and the Office of Medical Education, she will ensure that the curriculum is on trend and continues to meet its requirements: preparing students for clinical practice and meeting accreditation criteria. She will also make sure it is properly integrated, as well as evaluated and improved.
“Let’s help our students apply their knowledge and develop their clinical skills and reasoning to grow into professionals who provide care with excellence and compassion,” said Kind. “I look forward to working together with the talented GW community to further enhance clinical education.”
Kind, who currently chairs the clinical subcommittee under the Committee on Undergraduate Medical Education Curriculum, will provide support for the development, implementation, and evaluation of the undergraduate medical education curriculum, as well.
