Medical Education Week
June 5-9
During Education Week, the Shapiro Institute for Education and Research will welcome Dr. Richard J. Simons, Senior Associate Dean for MD Programs at George Washington School of Medicine, as the 2023 Daniel C. Tosteson Visiting Professor.
Dr. Simons will join several educational sessions during Education Week including the Building Bridges Session with the Rabkin Fellows and BIDMC Academy discussing the topic “Bedside Teaching: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice.“ He‘ll wrap up his week with us at Medical Grand Rounds on Thursday, June 8th with a lecture titled: “Educating tomorrow‘s physicians: enduring traditions and new paradigms.“
This annual visiting professorship is named in honor of the past Dean of Harvard Medical School. It is generously supported by the S. Robert Stone Endowment Fund and provides opportunities for faculty from BIDMC and HMS to meet with nationally recognized medical educators.
