Dr. Leslie Fall is the co-founder and Executive Director of MedU. Founded in 2006, MedU is a mission-driven organization dedicated to delivering the best health care education through collaborative development and research into innovative high-impact virtual teaching and learning methods. The majority of US and Canadian medical schools subscribe to at least one of MedU’s award-winning virtual patient courses, which have over 40,000 unique users per year and over 1,000,000 case sessions completed annually. She is currently building courses on MedU Science and Diagnostic Excellence, which focus on improving the integration of basic science into clinical education for the purpose of improving excellence in clinical decision-making and patient care.

Dr. Fall is also a Professor of Pediatrics (Hospital Medicine) and Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. A Geisel graduate herself, she has completed a medical education fellowship at Michigan State University and the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) program for women. Dr. Fall is an inaugural member of Geisel’s Academy of Master Educators. In 2013 she co-led the launch of Geisel’s successful curricular adoption of iPads for both teaching and learning. She has been both locally and nationally involved in the continuum of medical student, resident and faculty education throughout her career, particularly through the lens of expertise development. Her innovative approach to teaching clinical skills using a developmental coaching paradigm, co-developed with Dr. Kimberly Gifford, has resulted in numerous invited national workshops, visiting professorships and recent publications.

Leslie lives in Hanover, NH with her husband and three children.

Mike McCabe: TopGun: The Carrier Deck Mentality

As a leader, Mike McCabe oversaw some of the deepest technology shifts and changes at the US Navy. He ensured thousands of military personnel would be ready for these transformations and managed the budgets that supported these key innovations and changes.

Mike’s career is the stuff of dreams. As a child, he could be often found moving down the hallway with his five model aircraft carriers. When he became Director of Air Warfare at the Pentagon, Mike McCabe oversaw mega budgets of $31 billion per year in resources to support over 4000 aircraft, 12,000 naval aviators 60,000 personnel, and of course, 12 full-size aircraft carriers.

Mike’s passion for leadership took root during his term as an instructor at the renowned Navy Fighter Weapons School, aka TOPGUN.

Blending his extensive command experience and TOPGUN best-practice, Mike McCabe has created an approach to leadership that is compelling, current and truly one of a kind.

In 2005, Mike retired from the Navy, and his unique leadership found new home as the President and COO of a commercial airline. In that arena, he successfully employed the same tactics and approaches he honed in his naval career. As a speaker and a leadership consultant, Mike is dedicated to translating his experience for use in varied and unique organizations.
