Hobgood is named associate dean for curriculum, educational development in School of Medicine
Dr. Cherri D. Hobgood has been appointed associate dean for curriculum and educational development in UNC’s School of Medicine, effective Nov. 1.
She replaces Dr. Carol Tresolini, who was appointed as UNC’s associate provost for academic initiatives in early September.
In her new role, Hobgood will oversee the many functions of the educational development office, including providing expert consultation and assistance in curriculum and faculty development; seeking external funding and supporting faculty in obtaining external funding for educational development; enhancing an extensive program for evaluation of curriculum, courses and teaching; and building on the School of Medicine’s special programs for minority and disadvantaged students seeking health careers.
Hobgood also will oversee the School of Medicine’s efforts to maintain accreditation for its four-year medical degree program.
Previously, Hobgood served as an assistant professor and director of education in the School of Medicine’s department of emergency medicine. She is the recipient of numerous UNC and national teaching awards.
Hobgood was president of the N.C. College of Emergency Physicians in 2002-2003 and national president of the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association in 1997-1998. In 2004, the N.C. College of Emergency Physicians named her N.C. Emergency Physician of the Year.
