Advanced Clinician Educator (ACE)

We have a robust clinical educator curriculum within our residency program, and all of our residents participate in bedside teaching, lead conferences and didactic sessions, and moderate small group discussions. In addition, for those interested in a dedicated career in medical education, the Advanced Clinician Educator (ACE) program provides an opportunity to work with experienced Clinician Educator faculty mentors in a tailored experience focused on developing clinical teaching skills, building medical education knowledge, developing medical education scholarship, and building an educational portfolio.

Two to three residents per year are selected via an application process, which takes place at the end of intern year. ACE residents are afforded additional opportunities to hone their teaching abilities, and to produce scholarly work in the field of medical education, which they present at national conferences.

Prior residents include Saman Nematollahi (ID at Johns Hopkins), Benjamin Gallagher (primary care at Yale), Daniel Manson (pulm/crit at Columbia), Brian Reuland (pulm/crit at NYU), and Jeffrey Larnard (ID at BIDMC).
