Dr Kiran H.S
I`m Dr.Kiran H.S, Professor & Physician in the department of Internal Medicine. As a student & as a teacher, I have always felt the need of a formal program for medical educators. I believe that a good teacher is made, not born & teaching is a ‘sacred’ neuron/synapse modifying process. My beliefs were reinforced after I published my research work titled "DREEM comes true: Students` perceptions of Educational environment in an Indian Medical School". My strong urge to excel as a teacher made me complete a Diploma in teaching skills & Pedagogy (PGDTSP) with Distinction and FAIMER fellowship. Being a member of MEU as one of the representatives from clinical side, I have a strong desire for innovations in medical education including clinical teaching and my project for FAIMER fellowship was in that direction. Contrary to the proverb, I believe that not only we can lead a horse to water, but can make him drink too if we succeed in making him thirsty !!.
I believe in the concept of MEU developing as a `think tank`. Looking forward to my humble contributions to the teaching-learning process , MEU & its innovative programs and my own lifelong learning.
Long term goals as an educator - To foster : Metacognition - Clinical Reasoning - Critical thinking
