Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Racial Advocacy Curriculum Thread

The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Racial Advocacy (DEIRA) thread for the MD curriculum is led by Dr. Tracey Henry (medicine). Learn how DEIRA is preparing students to become not only effective physicians but leaders and advocates, and how you as a faculty member can incorporate this content in your teaching. 


SOM Peer Teaching Consultations

Interested in working on your Foundations lectures this year? Want to talk about how they could be better? Consider requesting a Peer Consultation.

  • A peer consultation is done between faculty members in the School of Medicine.
  • It can be one meeting, or a series of two to three meetings.
  • It helps a faculty member strengthen one or more aspects of their teaching and/or helps a faculty member think through and develop an improved lecture.
  • We are committed to a flexible but structured consultation model to focus on what each individual faculty member wants to work on.

Participation in this program is entirely voluntary and confidential. Reviews are available in person or by review of a recorded lecture (with some limitations).

If you are interested in participating, please email Dr. Mehul Tejani and someone will be in touch with you about your interests. Program sponsored by the Educational Development Sub-Committee of the Executive Curriculum Committee.
