Teaching
Since 2013, I have amassed more than 700 hours of contact time with medical students and an additional 200 hours with allied health science students. My teaching philosophy relies on engaging students in active learning and providing clinical relevance to the content they are learning. You can find several examples of my lectures below.
Medical Student Anatomy • I design content and teach gross anatomy to 90 first year medical students
• I focus on clinical applications and coordinate closely with those teaching radiological anatomy • Teaching modalities include lectures (online and in-person) and ~100 hours of dissection • Practical exams include higher-order questions about clinical applications and require students to integrate their knowledge of anatomy with that of physical exam, histology, and physiology |
Allied Health Student Anatomy • I am a member of the dissection teaching team for physician assistant anatomy
• I designed and taught a dissection-based anatomy course for anesthesia assistants that incorporates ultrasound anatomy • I also coordinate prosection-based experiences for athletic training and nurse practitioner students and have assisted with anatomy courses for occupational and physical therapy students |
Evolutionary Medicine• Evolutionary Medicine is a semester-long elective for second year medical students that I designed and teach most fall semesters
• The seminar includes student-led discussion and guest researcher "visits" via Skype • Students design and present posters reviewing evolutionary medicine concepts • Syllabus |
Poverty and Health• In July 2018, I attended a training through the Inside Out Prison Exchange Program where I learned to design a class for university and incarcerated students to learn with and from each other
• In spring 2019, and again in spring 2020, I've taught Poverty & Health for medical students and incarcerated students at York Correctional Institution • Syllabus |
