The majority of my teaching is at the professional student level. I co-teach the veterinary pharmacology course and cover a broad range of various therapeutic agents across multiple disciplines (e.g. respiratory, cardiology, gastrointestinal, etc.) with corresponding clinical examples. I co-coordinate the communication module for the third-year veterinary students and conduct simulated actor scenarios with real-time feedback. In the physiology II course, I teach the gastrointestinal physiology section and introduce foundational concepts necessary for clinical medicine. The professional and clinical skills courses afford me the opportunity to introduce various case-based and innovative educational methodologies over a wide array of topics. As a clinician in a basic science department, I have the unique privilege of translating basic science concepts into clinical concepts across all four years of the curriculum. I serve as a senior clinician on the fourth-year small internal medicine rotation in the small animal teaching hospital and relish the moments when students can apply their knowledge to clinical cases and realize the intricate connections across medicine.
