The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has awarded the 2012 Alpha Omega Alpha Robert J. Glaser Distinguished Teacher Award to ASPET member Amy L. Wilson-Delfosse, Ph.D. Dr. Wilson-Delfosse, Assistant Dean for Basic Science Education and Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, was instrumental in redesigning the school's 2006 Western Reserve2 (WR2) curriculum which brought in an organ system-based approach to teaching basic science. The idea behind the WR2 curriculum was to foster an atmosphere of small, self-directed group learning. According to an article posted on the AAMC website, "Dr. Wilson-Delfosse has aided this transition by running workshops to help CWRU educators become better discussion facilitators and give meaningful feedback to students." And she works to keep the cycle of learning going by creating an atmosphere where students are trained to ask questions. Dr. Wilson-Delfosse currently serves as Director of the Case Inquiry Program, helping to advance the WR2 curriculum. She is also President of the International Association of Medical Science Educators. Her laboratory interests focus on cancer and Parkinson's Disease.
