The 2020 IHER Conference keynote speaker is sponsored by the Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Institute for the Transformation of Medical Education.

Verna Monson Head Shot The 2020 Conference will feature keynote speaker Verna E. Monson, PhD, Adjunct Professor, MCW Kern Institute for the Transformation of Medical Education, Educational Psychologist and Consultant, Professionalism and Ethics Education in Medical Schools

About Dr. Monson

Dr. Monson received her PhD in Educational Psychology, Psychological Foundations of Education (social psychology, ethics education in the professions, evaluation), from the University of Minnesota. As the principle of her own firm, she has consulted to a broad range of professional education institutions (e.g. Law, Dentistry, Counselling Psychology, Medical) on issues related to professional identity formation (PIF) and ethics education. This includes working closely with Dr. Kalet on the application of an evidence-based constructivist-developmental measure of professional identify formation, the Professional Identity Essay (PIE) in medical students. This is based on the work of Muriel Bebeau, James Rest and Robert Kegan among other luminaries with whom she has worked closely.

Based on her work with Dr. Kalet for the past five years, Dr. Monson has worked with MCW, NYU, University of Illinois at Chicago, the University of Virginia and Frank Netter Schools of Medicine and the new Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine. She provides expert staging and personalized feedback to medical students based on their written Professional Identify Essay. In this role she has highly unique and calibrated experience with the nature of the development of a medical student’s professional identity. She has analyzed thousands of these essays. More recently she has been providing professionalism remediation coaching for medical students. Dr. Monson brings a highly honed and unique perspective to the study of the education of professionals.
