The Scientific Interest Group for Novel Education and Teaching (SIGNET) is a home for educators within the ASIP and an integral component of the ASIP Education Committee. SIGNET is a broad coalition engaging teachers across the spectrum from high school through university, graduate, and medical education with a focus on promoting the foundational role of Pathology. Through annual meeting events and regularly-scheduled virtual sessions, SIGNET will provide support for developing educational skills, experience, strategies, and innovation; topics will include curriculum development, syllabus generation, incorporation of the social determinants of health, teaching to the current generation of students, and adopting new pedagogies and tools.
Goals:
Opportunities to teach and get feed-back on teaching for Trainees interested in Education
Opportunities for Faculty to share best practices

Contribute to a session and other events at the ASIP Annual Meeting (e.g., Scientific Sleuthing for High School Teachers and Students, or Workshop for Graduate Education)
