Dr. Anastasia Rowland-Seymour is the inaugural Associate Dean for Program Innovation and Educational Enhancement. Anastasia is a General Internist, with a clinical practice at MetroHealth. Having done her medical school training at Columbia University followed by a residency in Internal Medicine and Primary Care at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, Anastasia has been steeped in medical education since early in her medical career. Having been a clinician educator in both the UME and GME spaces at several institutions (Harlem Hospital, U of Arizona, SUNY Upstate and Johns Hopkins) prior to her transition to CWRU, Anastasia dove headfirst into the role of medical educator when she came to CWRU in the role of Director of Foundations of Clinical Medicine (Block 8). Anastasia subsequently expanded her role to include her former position as the inaugural Assistant Dean of Longitudinal Clinical Education where her focus had been on the development of clinical skills for the transition points of pre-clerkship to clerkship year and 4th year to internship year. Over the last year, Anastasia has been a part of a national working group convened by the Associate of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), to create the Foundational Competencies for undergraduate medical education.
