She has been integral to building Geisel\u2019s Learning Collaboratives from the outset and has been a passionate advocate for humanism, clinical skills excellence, patient-centered education, and phronesis in Geisel\u2019s medical education program. She is well-known to our community, through her service not only as director of Geisel\u2019s hallmark On Doctoring program, but also through her contributions as associate dean for admissions, leading Geisel\u2019s outstanding admissions team in recruiting and welcoming each incoming class. Dr. Pinto-Powell will continue her work in both important roles in addition to directing the Learning Collaboratives. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On behalf of Dean Compton, and representing our Learning Collaboratives development team, Sonia Nagy Chimienti, MD, FIDSA, Dean of Educational Affairs announced that Dr. Roshini Pinto-Powell has been appointed as the Inaugural Director for\u00a0Geisel\u2019s Learning Collaboratives for Flourishing in Medical Education.
