Personal Statement:
"I have a keen interest in medical education with the goal to expand scholarly focus on curriculum development and faculty development. I focus on innovative ways to implement Best Evidence Medical Education Curriculum for the promotion of the highest standards in Endocrinology subspecialty training and continuous professional learning. I closely work with RCPSC subspecialty committee, Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Diabetes Canada to ensure excellent training and professional development to shape the Endocrinology practice in Canada."
Dr. Mahua Ghosh was recruited to the Department of Medicine in 2011, having completed a PhD in pharmacology, a residency in internal medicine and subspecialty training in endocrinology. She also completed a certificate in Medical Education from the University of Dundee in 2017.
