Overview

Dan Hunt, MD received his MD degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completed his internal medicine residency at Vanderbilt with his third year at Baylor College of Medicine. He then spent eleven years in private practice of general internal medicine in Houston, becoming a partner with the Medical Clinic of Houston in the Texas Medical Center. He was subsequently recruited as a clinician educator by Baylor College of Medicine where he focused much of his clinical effort on the inpatient wards and participated in a variety of medical education activities, including direction of the Patient, Physician and Society-3 course and of a major CME course for the Department of Medicine. During his time at Baylor, Dr. Hunt received over 35 major teaching awards.

Dr. Hunt was recruited in 2005 by the Massachusetts General Hospital to develop and lead the Inpatient Clinician Educator Service for the Department of Medicine. In 2010, Dan became the Chief of the Hospital Medicine Unit that combined the Clinician Educator Service and the larger direct-care Hospital Medicine Group under a unified administrative and academic structure. Dan is also a Deputy Editor for the Journal of Hospital Medicine. He is an active member of the Society of Hospital Medicine, the Society of General Internal Medicine, and the Association of Chiefs and Leaders in General Internal Medicine.

Dans scholarship has focused primarily on medical education and perioperative management. In addition, Dan has been the primary discussant for five Clinicopathologic Case Conferences (CPCs) published by the New England Journal of Medicine and has served as the unknown case discussant at national conferences. Dr. Hunt received the Alfred Kranes Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching at the MGH in 2006 and 2011, the Best Clinical Instructor Award from Harvard Medical School in 2008, and the Society of Hospital Medicine Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2011. Dr. Hunts current academic interests are venous thromboembolic disease, perioperative management, bedside application of evidence-based medicine, innovative approaches to medical education, faculty development of clinician educators, and mentoring of junior faculty.
