“Controversies in Medical Education Research: Assessment of Physician Competence & Mastery”
Speakers:
Burton W. Lee, MD completed his B.A. at UCLA and his M.D. at Harvard Medical School, and trained in internal medicine and pulmonary critical care, both at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also trained in Clinical Effectiveness and Evidence Based Health Care at the Harvard School of Public Health and Oxford University, respectively. Throughout his career, Burt has enjoyed educating and training of medical students, residents, and fellows, both in the U.S. and in Sub Saharan Africa. In 2010, he and his family moved to Kenya to serve at Kijabe Hospital where he cofounded the Emergency Critical Care Clinical Officer (ECCCO) program to help bridge the high burden of illness in Sub Saharan Africa with the shortage of well-trained clinicians. He returned to the US in 2016 to serve as a Professor of Medicine at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine before being recruited to the National Institutes of Health in 2020, where he is currently the Head of Medical Education and the Head of Global Critical Care in the Critical Care Medicine Department. His research focus has been how physicians develop (and potentially lose) mastery of medical knowledge and skills, especially for complex topics.
