Ra\u00fal Necochea, School of Medicine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Necochea brings an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to teaching, particularly in the integration of humanities, social sciences, and medicine. His work with Latin American students to promote global health equity and his leadership of an oral history project documenting the experiences of the first African American School of Medicine alumni at UNC exemplify his unique teaching methods. Dr. Necochea\u2019s high-quality teaching materials, thoughtful assignments, and well-designed lesson plans provide students with a rich, transformative educational experience. His commitment to fostering a supportive learning environment, where students feel encouraged to engage and share diverse perspectives, has had a lasting impact on his students and the larger curriculum. Additionally, his ongoing contributions to curriculum development in the medical school further underscore his exceptional dedication to education.<\/p>\n
