UW Assistant Professor, Dr. Breana “Bre” Taylor, a vascular neurologist and clinician educator, will be joining the UW School of Medicine medical student education program as the new Seattle Foundations dean. She begins her new position on July 1, 2025.
After completing a residency in neurology (achieving chief resident status), and a fellowship in vascular neurology, both at UW, Dr. Taylor joined the UW Department of Neurology in 2019 where she provided support for students in clinical skills development, coaching and mentoring in the Colleges program and the Underserved Pathway. She has also been a recurrent lecturer and small group instructor in several of the Foundations Phase courses.
“As the Seattle Foundations dean, I hope to continue to build meaningful connections and community with and between Seattle Foundations students and support them to be successful during medical school and as future physicians,” said Dr. Taylor. “I look forward to bringing the knowledge and experience that I’ve gained as a College faculty and College head to this new role.”
Welcome Dr. Taylor!
