Rachel W. Moquin, EdD, MA, has made significant contributions as a mentor in the Department of Anesthesiology, focusing on various initiatives to enhance clinical education.

Impressively, five faculty participants have advanced to departmental leadership positions in education since completing the program. Moquin has been actively involved in mentoring programs at WashU Medicine. She is currently providing mentorship to 15 faculty members, 11 residents and fellows, two medical students, two certified registered nurse anesthetists and one staff member. She has facilitated sessions for the Methods in Education Scholarship Courses and mentored participants pursuing educational scholarship projects. As a mentor in the Teaching Scholars Program, WashU Teaching Physician Pathway Program, Foundations in Teaching Skills Program, and Academy of Educators Mentoring Committee, Moquin has consistently demonstrated her commitment to supporting faculty, residents and fellows in curriculum development, educational projects and teaching skills. Her leadership in various mentoring roles contributes significantly to the educational and professional development of individuals within the department and the broader WashU Medicine community.
