Edward McKee Central Michigan University | What are your name and title/rank? Edward McKee Professor of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics Former Founding Senior Associate Dean of Research College of Medicine Central Michigan University How long have you been a member of ABE, and what attracted you to the organization? I joined the ABE in 2008 before the second meeting. I was recruited to the organization by Dr. Janet Lindsley to give a workshop on using Team-Based-Learning to teach Medical Biochemistry, a workshop I presented at the 2009 meeting. I enjoyed the presentations, interactions and camaraderie at this meeting very much and have attended every meeting since then. Looking at your time with the association, what have you most enjoyed doing? What are you looking forward to? I was elected to serve on the executive board at the 2009 meeting and served as the founding Treasurer from 2009-2011 and as Vice-President from 2011-2013. This was a great group and I enjoyed working with them. This is my favorite meeting, and I look forward to attending and learning something new at each one.Tell us more about your ABE conference contributions. If you aren't presenting, what are you most excited about engaging in? As a member of the Executive board in 2009, I helped organize the next few meetings and with others presented and co-presented and chaired a number of sessions, some presented in a Team-Based-Learning format. Most recently, I co-presented a workshop with Dr. Dan Griffin on coupling Case-based and Team-Based Learning in an integrated College of Medicine program.If people would like to follow you on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc), what are your handles? N/A What interesting things are you working on outside of the association right now? Research, presentations, hobbies, etc. I stepped down from my administrative position several years ago and have returned to the laboratory to undertake a new mitochondrial disease research project which I hope will bear fruit. I have also been involved with curriculum changes here, as we incorporate Peer Instruction into our teaching program. |
