Moore-Lotridge, PhD Assistant Professor of Orthopaedicsstephanie.n.moore.1@vumc.org How long have you been a member of ABE, and what attracted you to the organization? ~1 year. As I've taken on new medical education roles, especially lecturing, I was looking for more individuals with whom I could connect for mentorship, camaraderie, and to share ideas! Looking at your time with the association, what have you most enjoyed doing? What are you looking forward to? I have greatly enjoyed attending virtual lectures focused on specific topics of interest to this community. Through these conversations, I've gained a lot of insight and new ideas ive started to apply to my own work. In the future, Im looking forward to sharing my experience with others in this community and collaborating to improve our work together.Tell us more about your ABE conference contributions. If you aren't presenting, what are you most excited about engaging in? I've had the opportunity to share my work virtually with ABE to date. Im excited to do this more in the future. If I'm not presenting, I'm most excited about engaging in discussion about in cooperating technology and gamification into learning.If people would like to follow you on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc), what are your handles? instagram: drsmooreandcapttaco What interesting things are you working on outside of the association right now? Research, presentations, hobbies, etc. I split my time between running an Orthopaedic translational research laboratory with my colleague Dr. Jon Schoenecker, and medical education in the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. In the lab, we focus on your bodies response to injury or infection, with the goal of preserving organ function and decreasing mortality. As part of our research, we mentor medical students, undergraduates, and residents in research practices. This not only includes technical research skills, but also writing, communication, and critical thinking skills with the goal of developing life long curious physicians/scientists. I am passionate about research as a model for education and a route for meaningful mentorship. Beyond the lab I serve as a lecturer for the medical school and as the Faculty Lead for our integrate science courses. Through this role I have the opportunity to work with faculty across 19 distinct courses focused in integrating basic science and clinical experiences for our 3rd and 4th year medical students. As part of these roles, I am interested in curriculum development and innovative ways to include basic science content across our curriculum, including use of technology. Furthermore, I am interested in continual development of feedback strategies and ways we can use technology to empower our faculty to provide the best feedback to our students. Beyond the lab and medical education, I am a new mom and enjoy spending time at home with my husband Corey and son Calloway. We enjoy traveling, exploring new restaurants, enjoying time outside, and as time permits, doing arts and crafts at home. |
