Rethinking the Anatomy Educator Pipeline: A Competency-Based Fellowship

In this episode of MedEd Thread, we talk with Dr. William Albabish, Director of Anatomy, and Dr. Andrea Di Sebastiano, Associate Director of Anatomy at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, about a novel fellowship designed to prepare PhD scientists from adjacent fields for careers in anatomy education. They discuss how immersive donor-based dissection, teaching, curriculum development, educational technology and structured mentorship are helping address a growing shortage of anatomy educators. Tune in to learn how this competency-based approach is creating new pathways into anatomy education while preparing faculty for the evolving needs of medical learners.
