At Columbia’s medical school, Dr. Pandit served on several curriculum committees, including the course evaluation subcommittee, the major clinical year (clerkship year) subcommittee, and the curriculum revision subcommittee. Outside Columbia, Dr. Pandit is currently the co-chair for the 2024 annual conference of the AAMC Northeast Group on Educational Affairs (NEGEA) and has been a regular presenter at local, regional, and national conferences on emergency medicine, wilderness medicine, and medical education. In addition, Dr. Pandit completed the Medical Education Research Certification process through the AAMC and the Harvard Macy Institute course on Systems Based Approach to Assessments.
