She gives lectures and leads small groups for pathology and inquiry topics across multiple Foundational Science blocks in Foundations 1 and 2. She developed the Appropriate Use of Diagnostic Tests course for F2, directs the Clinical Immersion Experience (CIEx) elective “Demystifying Pathology”, and teaches in both the anatomic residency and the neuropathology fellowship. Dr. Margeta has received the AME Excellence in Teaching Award in 2012 and 2017, along with nominations for a 2014 Essential Core Award, a 2017 Foundations 1 Teaching Award and a 2017 Kaiser Award. She also mentors many medical and pharmacy students, residents and fellows in research and career development. Dr. Margeta shares oversight of UME pathology education at UCSF with Dr. Raga Ramachandran with whom she re-designed the current core pathology curriculum for the Bridges Curriculum. This included developing lectures, small group sessions, histology independent learning modules (ILMs), specimen review labs, integrated case-of-the-week sessions and assessment questions. Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Dr. Dan Lowenstein says, “She is a dedicated, highly accomplished and visionary medical educator whose efforts have translated into an outstanding experience in pathology education by our trainees.”
