VI. TEACHING (OHSU Educator’s Portfolio):

Overview of your Role as an Educator:

My academic focus is surgical education. My role as an educator is my top priority as an academician. I

have and continue to pursue the skill set that I need to become an effective clinician-teacher-researcher. I

have completed the OHSU Education Leadership Initiative (ELI) program in 2008. This year long course

supported a cohort of OHSU faculty from differing fields and provided the elemental principles behind

educational theory. I have also completed a Surgical Education Research Fellowship sponsored through

the Association of Surgical Education (ASE). This program paired novice researchers with mentors

experienced in surgical education research. The course was designed to provide the fundamentals of

research methodology used in surgical education research. Through this program I evaluated the

educational value of morbidity and mortality (M&M) conference. I hypothesized that introduction of a

standardized format of presentation would improve the quality of M&M presentations and improve

learning outcomes for both junior and senior M&M attendees. This work was presented at the American

College of Surgeons, 2010 Clinical Congress meeting and has been submitted to the ASE meeting.

I am currently enrolled in a Master’s of Surgical Education program at Imperial College in London,

England. This master’s program provides sound theoretical background to the principles of education,

curriculum design, and assessment. My research and dissertation will focus on the assessment of

operative competence in Vascular Surgery. The design of the study utilizes both qualitative and

quantitative research design; it is my hope that I can develop a tool for assessing intraoperative operative

competence using both qualitative and quantitative research methods.

My main teaching environment is the surgical ward, clinic and operating room, where I attend as an

Assistant Professor. I care for patients while teaching medical students, surgical residents, as well as

vascular surgical fellows. The majority of my clinical teaching of medical students and surgical residents

is through one-on-one precepting, although I do teach in various other settings, such as small and large

groups for didactic sessions and discussions. I teach surgical operative skills and techniques primarily in

the operating room through a one-on-one basis but I also teach basic open and endovascular operative

skills to medical students and surgical residents in a weekly vascular surgical skills laboratory.
