Teaching Scholars Lecture Series
Deborah E. Simpson, PhD Title of lecture: Are Educators at the Top or the Bottom of the Expertise Pyramid? Teachers have a challenging role, particularly in the health professions. They must be subject matter experts and then be able to transfer that expertise to learners often in the context of active patient care. This session will focus on what teachers know and how they can enhance their teaching as members of an educational community that takes teaching (and learning) seriously. March 30, 2006 Deborah E. Simpson earned a PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota while working as a faculty development specialist in the College of Pharmacy and later the Department of Family Medicine at the University. Currently, Dr. Simpson is Professor of Family and Community Medicine and Associate Dean for Educational Support and Evaluation at Medical College of Wisconsin. In 2001, she received the Excellence in Education award from the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine for her work in faculty development and in 2005 a McCann Faculty Scholar for her work in mentoring. Dr. Simpson has more than 225 presentations and 90 publications in clinical teaching effectiveness, faculty development for clinician educators and clinician investigators, mentoring and documenting faculty contributions to education consistent with criteria for educational scholarship.
