How-to Guide for Active Learning

Dr. Fornari is the Associate Dean of Educational Skills Development Zucker SOM at Hofstra/Northwell and is the Vice President of Faculty Development for the 23 hospitals of the Northwell Health organization. Her faculty development role at both institutions is designed to align the UME, GME and CPD continuum. Serving in these roles allows her to bring UME curricular innovations to the GME programs and recruit educators from GME to participate in continuing professional development focused on teaching, learning and scholarship at the Zucker School of Medicine. Recognizing a need for additional faculty development to align UME and GME education, in 2016 she created and admitted the inaugural cohort to a Masters of Health Professions Pedagogy and Leadership program at Hofstra University.
