I have been noticeably absent from the online space over the
past few months. However, I think I have
a valid reason for this. I am excited to
announce a major professional transition.
I have been given an incredible opportunity, and am excited to begin a
new chapter in my career.
Beginning January 4, 2016, I will begin as the Education
Editor for the NEJM Group within the Massachusetts Medical Society, which
oversees the New England Journal of
Medicine and other educational offerings such as Knowledge+. This position
will allow me to learn from and work with an amazing group of folks in medical
publishing, and provide exposure to new opportunities for learning in
healthcare. I will work with the
adaptive personalized learning product, Knowledge+,
and will learn from the other journal deputy editors associated with the Review
Articles within the Journal. NEJM Group already is well established with
the Journal itself, Journal Watch, Knowledge+, CareerCenter,
and a new product launched in December 2015 called NEJM Catalyst that focuses on healthcare delivery. Clinically, I will care for patients and continue
to teach residents through the Med-Peds Residency at Brigham & Women’s/Children’s Hospital of Boston affiliated with Harvard Medical School, after getting
settled.
This means leaving my academic home, the Indiana University
School of Medicine, to begin this full-time position with NEJM Group. I have learned so much from the incredible
people there; I will miss my mentors, colleagues and friends who have taught me
so much. I will miss the CME team, who
has helped me better understand how physicians and other health care providers
learn. Of course, the residency program
with which I have been associated since 2002, and prior to that as a resident
trainee, will always be a part of what I do. As much as I will miss it, I leave knowing that the program is in good hands and thriving, with amazing residents and faculty!
I am excited to begin this new journey; the folks at NEJM
Group have been so welcoming to me. I
will pick up my Twitter and blogging presence, and look forward to sharing my
experiences with my medical education friends, colleagues, learners and mentors!
