In February, the Department of Medicine launched TEACH DOM, welcoming six early-career clinicians to a curriculum aimed at strengthening both traditional and didactic teaching skills. Led by Drs. Stan Massie and Lisa Willett, the program focused on expanding participants’ versatility as educators, sharpening their ability to analyze clinical instruction, and fostering peer discussion around teaching challenges and best practices. Last week, the department celebrated the cohort’s successful completion. Congratulations to all participants.
