Research and Teaching Interests
I am involved in the second year medical curriculum development and management, course management and evaluation and exam development, evaluation and revision. I coordinate and assist in the administration of eight systems courses in the second year curriculum and am course director of two of these courses. I help prepare and evaluate all second year course exams (13) and any necessary remediation or makeup exams and two comprehensive term final exams. In addition to directing the Pathobiology and Therapeutics course and the Gastrointestinal System course, I give 31.5 hours of lecture to the second year medical students. I also direct fall and spring sections of a nursing pharmacology course (PHR 340) and give 36 hours of lecture in that course. This is a significant contribution to the teaching mission of the department. I also serve on 16 committees in the School of Medicine and one University Review Board, and serve as the WSU SOM representative to the United States Pharmacopeia.
