The support of teaching of our many learners, educational scholarship, and the career development of our educators are central to the mission of UW Medicine.

Two of our faculty have been appointed as new educational leaders in the School of Medicine.

AMDr. Addie McClintock

, assistant professor, is the new director of the Teaching Scholars Program

. The CLIME Teaching Scholars Program is a 10-month professional development program for educators in the health professions who have a passion for teaching and a desire to become academic leaders.

McClintock is a stellar teacher and an accomplished educational scholar. She developed and implemented the Women’s Health Training Pathway in the Internal Medicine Residency Program in 2016. In this role, and others, she has effectively mentored many trainees as highlighted by being awarded the Internal Medicine Residency Mentorship Awards.

She is an expert in the creation of inclusive and supportive learning environments with multiple publications on the topic as well as national/international speaking invitations on the topic.

She is also a graduate of the Teaching Scholars Program and brings a deep commitment to the program and the current and future cohorts of learners. I believe this marks an exciting next chapter for Teaching Scholars.
