Personal Background
I am an internal medicine physician serving as a primary care provider to patients with multiple complex
chronic meidical problems. I also cover the inpatient service at a the Cleveland Clinic a tertiary care
hospital. I work with medical students and internal medicine residents in the out patient and inpatient
setting.
I have been working on the use of web, computers and information technology in medical education since
1995. I created a series of online CME modules betwen 1997 and 2000. Subsequently I helped design
and develop our home grown learning management system and I direct a group of multimedia instruction
designers who develop the online learning moduels for all employees of the Cleveland Clinic health
system. Since 2003 I have also directed the design, development and maintenance of the online
curriculum delivery, assessment and ePortfolio system for the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of
Medicine. I am doing research on the use of IBM Watson in medical education and Clinical Practice.
I strongly believe in the principles of small group collaborative student centered learning and believe that
integration of web 2.0 tools into the medical school curriculm can help support these principles and will
appeal to the students of the Net generation.
