In particular, his SoTL work is focused on understanding and assessing the role of technology in the classroom as well as evaluating assessment methods in the medical curriculum; both of which are aimed at evidence-based pedagogy. We are excited to have Dr. Deweyert as part of the ACB team and look forward to his teaching and scholarly contributions to the department and the broader Western community. Welcome Andrew!
