Paolo C. Martin

Dr. Paolo C. Martin is assistant professor and director for scholarly communication at the Department of Health Professions Education (HPE). He studies why HPE stakeholders who deserve a say in HPE are overlooked and what educators might learn if their voices were highlighted in HPE teaching and research. His academic interests straddle the intersection of dialogically organized pedagogies, conceptualizing and supporting learner wellbeing, and technologies for learning and community engaged research. At HPE he teaches and advises graduate students in certificate, MHPE, and PhD tracks. Early his career Dr. Martin was briefly a bench scientist studying wound healing and later a literacy specialist in South Central Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area where he worked with school children, directed reading intervention programs, developed learning technologies, and taught pre-service and in-service teacher education courses at UC Berkeley and Stanford. He received his PhD in Curriculum and Teacher Education (CTE)/Learning Sciences and Technology Design (LSTD) and MS in Community Health and Prevention Research (CHPR) from Stanford University, and MAEd in Education of Language, Literacy, and Culture (ELLC) from University of California Berkeley.
