Biography

Kadriye O. Lewis, EdD, is currently working in the Division of General and Community Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center as a Field Service Associate Professor of Pediatrics and is the adjunct faculty of the University of Cincinnati College of Education. She received both her MEd and EdD in Curriculum and Instruction with the emphasis on Instructional Design and Technology from the University of Cincinnati. She did her postgraduate Diploma in Linguistics in Edinburg Moray House College, Scotland. Her MA is in English as a Second Language (ESL) from Eskisehir Teacher College, Turkey.

Before her doctoral study she worked for the Ministry of National Education in Turkey for 15 years. Her work experience included teaching ESL classes in various high schools, working as a Teacher Trainer in the Ministry's in-service teacher education programs, Testing Specialist in Education Research and Development Directorate, and Project Coordinator in an international project between the World Bank and Turkish Government. During her doctoral study she taught educational technology courses for both elementary and secondary teacher education programs at the University of Cincinnati, College of Education as well as at the Clermont College (branch of the University of Cincinnati). She had also been involved as a graduate assistant on various grants with the faculty members from the University.

Currently, she coordinates and supervises the educational activities of the Division of General and Community Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's, including program development, curriculum and evaluation. She has played a major role in the development of the Online Master's Degree in Education Program for Physicians and Other Healthcare Professionals, which has been offered both nationally and internationally since the fall of 2002. She has served as an education coordinator and consultant to the medical center's faculty development program, an integrated, multi-level, multidisciplinary program of faculty development in teaching. She also applied her educational background and academic skills to health literacy by establishing a Health Literacy Committee at Cincinnati Children’s in 2007 and chaired this committee successfully for the last three years. This initiative was to examine links between literacy and health-related outcomes. She has presented extensively at many professional meetings and conferences, and as an invited speaker at many international and national universities. Along with her many accomplishments in the area of scholarly activities, most recently, she established the e-Learning SIG in Medical Education for the Academic Pediatrics Association (APA) and has been chairing this group for the last three years.
