Office of the Dean
I am pleased to announce that Andrew Deweyert, PhD, has been appointed as Assistant Dean, Assessment and Evaluation at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, effective October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2031.
The Assistant Dean, Assessment and Evaluation provides senior academic leadership for the design, oversight, quality assurance and continuous improvement of learner assessment and educational program evaluation for Schulich Medicine & Dentistry. The role supports a rigorous, fair and outcomes-oriented assessment system across the Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) and Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) curriculum and residency programs in London, Windsor and Distributed Education sites.
Dr. Deweyert obtained his BMSc in Medical Cell Biology and PhD in Anatomy and Cell Biology from Western University. Following this, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Education at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill. In 2023, Dr. Deweyert joined the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Schulich Medicine and Dentistry as an Assistant Professor.
As an Assistant Professor (Teaching Scholar) in Anatomy and Cell Biology, member of the Schulich Academy of Educators and the current Chair of both the Undergraduate Medical Education Assessment Committee and Examination Subcommittee, Dr. Deweyert brings a sustained record of leadership in assessment governance, quality improvement, faculty development and scholarship. At Northwestern University, he served on the medical school’s assessment committee while co-leading components of the MD curriculum.
Since joining Schulich Medicine & Dentistry, Dr. Deweyert has also served on the Undergraduate Medical Education Competency Committee, Program Evaluation Committee, Program Leadership Committee and as Chair of the Anatomy and Cell Biology Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Decolonization and Accessibility (EDIDA) Committee. He received the Schulich Excellence in Education: Educator Award in 2025.
Dr. Deweyert’s vision for UME and PGME assessment and evaluation is grounded in the belief that a defensible assessment ecosystem is core infrastructure for a well-functioning health professions program. He looks forward to developing an integrated assessment strategy with transparent standards, data governance and coordinated faculty development across UGME and PGME interfaces.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Deweyert on his appointment.
