Jason E. Wells, Ph.D., is the Associate Dean for Biomedical Affairs at the Duquesne University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Before joining Duquesne, he held multiple leadership positions at the Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine (LUCOM) from 2013–2021. While at LUCOM, he also served as vice-chair of Anatomical Sciences, where he spent a year helping shape the curriculum and culture before the college welcomed its first class in 2014. He was then appointed as pre-clerkship curriculum director in 2015.

Dr. Wells has worked in medical education for more than 18 years, holding faculty and leadership positions at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine, West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, and Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including five-time Educator of the Year, four-time Biomedical Educator of the Year, two-time William Osler Award for Excellence in Teaching, and the Atlas Golden Key Award for Biomedical Faculty.

Dr. Wells's neurophysiology research focused on the ionic currents involved in the conduction and transduction of pain in primary sensory neurons. He has published numerous articles in multiple journals. A southwestern Pennsylvania native, Dr. Wells earned his doctoral degree in the Program of Neuroscience from the West Virginia University School of Medicine, and his Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience from Allegheny College. He is a Costin Scholar and is pursuing an additional doctoral degree in Organizational Leadership.

Jill Kawalec, Ph.D., is Professor and Division Head of Preclinical Sciences at the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine (KSUCPM), where she is also the Director of Research. Jill earned her BS in bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and her M.S. and Ph.D. in biomedical engineering with a specialization in orthopaedic biomaterials from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Jill joined KSUCPM (originally the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine) in 1996 as an Assistant Professor and Director of Research. She coordinates and teaches the Principles of Medical Research course, coordinates the Preclinical Sciences Competency course, and delivers a lecture on Principles of Biomaterials for the Introduction to Podiatric Surgery course. She is passionate about innovating in her classroom and serves as the college’s ambassador for the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL).

John H. Olson, Ph.D., attended MIT where he earned a biological science degree. After receiving his master’s degree, he worked in developing monoclonal antibody diagnostic tools at Applied BioTechnology in Cambridge. He also worked at Advanced Magnetics in Cambridge, designing the first conjugated paramagnetic materials used for clinical use.

Dr. Olson later attended Arizona State University for his Ph.D. in Molecular/Cell Biology, where he discovered the first vertebrate sperm chemoattractant, alurin. He joined the faculty at Arizona State where he taught anatomy and physiology and did research on a range of subjects—from machine-assisted diagnosis of histological samples to trans-placental movement of drugs in pregnant mothers. When Arizona State University opened its downtown campus, he was responsible for setting up the labs and programs for pre-med and nursing anatomy and physiology.

Dr. Olson was invited to be an adjunct faculty member at ATSU-SOMA a few years later, and eventually transitioned to a full-time position, teaching anatomy and physiology.

As the Director of the California Health Sciences University Simulation Center, Leslie Catron helped build and establish this new, highly functional center with a new standardized patient program, augmented reality, and manikin simulation. As the fourth employee, she worked with faculty to integrate simulation into the curriculum, provide simulation training, and develop simulation assessments.

Starting as a neonatal nurse 49 years ago, Leslie advanced to clinical educator and clinical education specialist. She was nominated for the 2014 RN of the Year in Education for the Central San Joaquin Valley. She was also a Fellow of the Academy of Health Care Education Professionals from 2008–2017.

With 15 years of simulation experience, Leslie started as faculty and simulation coordinator in a community college nursing program, was recruited back to Valley Children's Hospital as the Clinical Education Specialist Simulation Coordinator, and is now the director of a robust medical school simulation program—the first of its kind in Central California. She has developed and implemented sustainable interprofessional simulation programs and trained healthcare students, physicians, nurses, paramedics, and technicians, developing an immersive simulation training program.

Leslie has written business and strategic plans for the university, including community outreach to high school students and regional healthcare organizations for sustainability. Each year she leads the simulation team in resident, medical student, pre-med students, and faculty training using simulation, and she serves as a consultant to other developing simulation programs.

Leslie has co-authored 42 original patient scenarios, served on local and national simulation committees, and co-founded the Central Valley Simulation Collaborative in 2009. She has been awarded multiple regional and national podium and poster presentations since 2012 and has given many workshops on simulation.
