Teaching & Clinical Evaluations
Formal feedback received from peers about my teaching, precepting, and clinical practice styles
"Alyssa was a great educator for students and residents. Learners were engaged with topics and asked informed questions to enhance their understanding of the material. She showed a willingness to rephrase concepts to help learners understand material that is typically more complex in nature. Her demeanor when teaching was always approachable and this allowed for better dialogue and a richer learning experience for students and junior residents"

"When conducting topic discussions, Alyssa is able to plan her activities appropriately for each level of learner. She adjusted to each learner's level and uses a variety of teaching strategies for active learning. Topics that she selects for discussion have been relevant to learners' rotations and patient populations, are evidence based, and reflect best practice."

"Alyssa's presentation and teaching skills are effective, creative, and informative. This is one of Alyssa's strengths. She has a special way of making her presentations charming, while keeping them professional and engaging. She is confident when presenting and her enthusiasm holds the attention of the learners. She appropriately adjusts her style depending on her target audience. She has a way of explaining and breaking down topics where it is easy to follow and understand."

"Alyssa excels in ensuring the implementation of therapeutic regimens and monitoring plans. She is friendly, helpful, and inviting, all of which allow her to be a sought after and respected team member. They often came to her with questions/concerns before, during, and after rounds. They also felt that she was fully engaged throughout the rotation, not just for a few hours on rounds. Alyssa was respected and appreciated by the medical team, fellows, and attendings. I received unsolicited feedback from a few residents on how helpful and knowledgeable she was."
