Helen Loeser, M.D., M.Sc. Associate Dean for Curriculum Dr. Helen Loeser is professor of clinical pediatrics as well as associate dean for curriculum. After joining the Dean’s Office in 1998, she immediately began overseeing the major restructuring and redesign of the medical school curriculum, which is now being implemented. Teaching medical students whether directly in small groups, large group didactic teaching, or individual clinical precepting has been and continues to be of primary importance to Dr. Loeser. Her current administrative role is a logical extension of that commitment and complements rather than replaces it. Dr. Loeser is the recipient of numerous honors and awards including membership in A.O.A., the Residents’ Teaching Award at Mount Zion (Golden Bagel Award) and the Clinical Faculty Teaching Award. After earning her B.A. in Visual Studies from Radcliffe College, Dr. Loeser punctuated her formal education with a two-year stint in Senegal as a Peace Corps volunteer and two years as an Escort Interpreter for Crossroads Africa on contract to the State Department. She then resumed her formal education and received her M.D. from University of Vermont, and M.Sc. in epidemiology from McGill University. Dr. Loeser completed her pediatric residency at Montreal Children’s Hospital.
