Richard Haspel

After completing his laboratory medicine training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Richard Haspel joined the faculty at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard Medical School.  He originally planned to conduct stem cell research but became interested in medical education and completed related fellowship training.  “I recognized a need for a structured, evidence-based approach in pathology education.”   He is now director of the residency training program at BIDMC and has become involved in a number of educational research efforts.  Richard explains “In my current role, I am able to help apply advances in best teaching practices directly to residents in our program and to projects such as with genomics education.”
