| Inaugural Academy Chair in Emergency Medicine | Dr. Michelle Lin has been appointed to the firs t Academy Chair in Emergency Education. This is tremendous recognition for Michelle and our Department. The Academy of Medical Educators endowed chair program is intended to allow talented teachers to expand their impact at UCSF and beyond.
The purpose of the Chair is to further enrich the education of UCSF medical students and cultivate student leaders in the field of emergency medicine through innovation. Michelle will use the Chair to advance her work on the Digital Instruction in Emergency Medicine project; keep up her active "Academic Life in Emergency Medicine" blog; and serve as a resource to innovate, educate and disseminate information within UCSF and the greater EM community.
Based on a desire to create a critical mass of teachers who have the interest, experience, training, and time to direct the process of educating medical students, former Dean Haile T. Debas committed funds to develop the matched endowed chair program. The Academy provides half the endowment, and the Department of Emergency Medicine the other half. The term of the appointment is for a period of five years and specific projects will be developed with Dr. Lin as goals for this appointment.
We are delighted by this selection and wish Michelle the best in expanding our commitment to excellence and innovation in medical education in emergency medicine.
Congratulations, Michelle!
