Before entering medical school, Brian D. Hodges, M.D., Ph.D., had not thought much about how medicine was taught. “I just assumed teaching was teaching,” he said. He quickly learned that not all teaching is created equal. “I became interested in why some of the educational experiences I had were very good and some were not so good.” Discovering the answers to these questions, and advancing the science of medical education, became the passion of Dr. Hodges’ career.
