"Dan Federman is a quintessential physician, teacher, scholar," says Joseph B. Martin, the current dean of the medical school. "He's among the most articulate educators in the entire world of medicine."
Federman draws rave reviews from his students as well.
He is the much-ballyhooed head instructor for a required first-year course in genetics, embryology and reproduction.
And in an annual show put on by second-year students, Federman is traditionally included in the spoof on faculty.
Federman speaks at the orientation for first-year medical students, and he often gives lectures on campus.
He says he makes a point of getting involved in student projects and serving on various ad hoc committees that include students.
As a clinician at University Health Services and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Federman interacts with third- and fourth-year medical students going through their rotations.
In these ways, he ensures that all students hear him speak and learn about his work at some point in their time at HMS.
