Navdeep Sekhon, MD

Hi! My name is Navdeep Sekhon and I am a clerkship director at the Baylor College of Medicine. I have been involved in undergraduate medical education since 2016. I have been actively involved with CDEM since that time, in particular with the Curriculum and Assessment Committee (I have been chair/co-chair for the past 4 years). I have helped manage the M4 curriculum update, and I have also helped to update the questions to the SAEMTests. I have also led the updates to the M3 and Pediatric EM Curricula. Most recently, I have become heavily involved in creating CDEM's project to create a unified, national clerkship curriculum that all medical students should know.

I am running for this position for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is to ensure that CDEM speaks for all of its members. In the past years, CDEM has created opportunities for faculty such as opportunities to help write questions for the SAEMTests, update and edit the chapters in the CDEM curricula, as well as mentorship. In addition, CDEM is working on projects such as a letter-writer's bureau to help our faculty get promoted. If elected, I will continue CDEM's focus on the needs of our clerkship directors and providing opportunities for growth.
