It is my goal to improve both human and veterinary medicine by helping train future clinicians and researchers to think critically and to become adept at problem solving. In my classrooms, I expect students to demonstrate understanding of material by applying knowledge. I attempt to provide the tools and opportunities for students to integrate both facts and application to the subjects of physiology and pharmacology.
