She is an Associate Dean of Educational Skills Development, Zucker SOM (ZSOM) and is the Vice President of Faculty Development for the 23 hospitals of Northwell Health. Her faculty development role at both institutions is designed to align the UME, GME and CPD continuum. In June 2021 she received the IAMSE award Distinguished Career Award for Excellence in Teaching and Educational Scholarship.
Recognizing a need for additional faculty development to align UME and GME education, in 2016 she created and admitted the inaugural cohort to a Master’s of Health Professions Education degree program. As Program Director, she supports high level faculty development for faculty who desire an advanced degree in education.
An interest in health humanities and reflective practice as a core competency has supported successful implementation of health humanities curriculum at the SOM and Northwell Health. She is currently coleading a AAMC/NEGEA Special Interest Group (SIG) on Health Humanities as Teaching and Learning tool.
In 2014, Dr. Fornari was awarded a 2-year grant, Mentoring and Professionalism in Training (MAP-IT), that focuses on developing mentoring skills in clinicians to achieve humanistic relationships with trainees, colleagues and ultimately patients across the continuum. Currently she is preparing a new IAMSE Manual as a co-editor entitled Mentoring in Health Professions Education: Evidence Informed Strategies.
Dr. Fornari obtained her EdD, Higher Education, College Teaching and Academic Leadership at Columbia University, Teachers College in 2001. Her research interest was focused on curriculum to support ethical decision making for healthcare professionals. Her interest in ethics education has continued and she obtained a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Bioethics form Hofstra University in 2018.
