Speakers

Petra J. Lewis, MD
Professor of Radiology and OBGYN
Vice Chair of Education in Radiology
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth

Dr. Petra Lewis gained her medical degree at Guy’s Hospital, London, England. Initial UK training was followed by a Nuclear Medicine Fellowship at Johns Hopkins, two years running a clinical PET center in London, then Radiology residency at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, NH.  She has been on faculty at Geisel Medical School at Dartmouth since 1998, where she is currently a Full Professor in Radiology and OBGYN, and Vice Chair of Education for Radiology.  Dr. Lewis is a member and ex-Chair of the Geisel Academy of Master Educators. She has run the student elective and mentorship program at Geisel for 20 years. Her clinical interests include both nuclear medicine and women’s imaging, but her national profile has focused on education in Radiology.  To this end she has been a key member of AMSER (Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology), AUR and ACER (Alliance of Clinician Educators in Radiology). She is a prior President of both ACER and AMSER and will be President of the AUR in 2020 and she has won Educator Awards from all these organizations.   She has been dedicated to developing shared multiple resources for medical educators including the AMSER curriculum, Radiology ExamWeb, MedU-CORE (Case–based Online Radiology Education) and RadExam . She was involved with the ABR and NBME for many years as an item writer and editor.  She is co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Radiology, a textbook for medical students and has published and lectured widely on education in Radiology including innumerable faculty development sessions.  Petra is married to Lionel Lewis MD, a Clinical Pharmacologist and a mother of two daughters and two dogs.  She is a passionate dressmaker, and lover of multiple outdoor pursuits.

 

Learning Objectives:
1. Outline the basic processes involved in memorization and recall
2. Explain why spaced interval testing results in better learning than repeated review
3. Design a learning or a teaching exercise that exploits spaced interval testing, interleaved and/or varied practice
4. Design a learning or testing exercise that utilizes elaboration and generation to improve learning
