Jennifer McEntee, MD, MPH, MA.Ed

Associate Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics, Division of Hospital Medicine

An explorer and thrill seeker at her core, Dr. McEntee decided to take a risk and join the University of Notre Dame’s ACE Program prior to entering medical school. Through this program, she loved teaching at a secondary school in Oklahoma City for two years and earned a Master’s in Education through Notre Dame.  She developed a passion for education and when she entered a joint MD/MPH program at Tulane – she realized education would be an instrumental part of her medical career. The Dean of Students at Tulane further allowed her to take a year of medical school between her first and second year of medical school to teach pedagogy at St. Joseph’s Teacher’s College in Moshi, Tanzania.  She continues to be diligent in regards to including her educational passion in to her day-to-day work as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist and Palliative Care/Hospice provider. Her educational interests continue to include working with the AOE to continue to help grow UNC’s commitment to developing faculty as educators both through formal and informal processes while also developing a more robust evaluation and assessment plan for all learners that focuses on  competency-based assessment using Entrustable Professional Activities versus the traditional time constant curricula.  In addition, she hopes to continue to foster and build a sense of community  at UNC which will further build resilience and life-long learning at all levels of learning. She is proud to be a Tar Heel and is grateful for the opportunity to serve our community in this way.
