Medical and Graduate Education: My major educational efforts are focused on the first year medical school courses (Gross Anatomy;
Molecules, Cells & Tissues; Pathobiology & Host Defense; and
Neuroscience & Human Behavior), and the Gross Anatomy course for
the School of Health Professions. One of my major interests is in the
modernization of medical education through virtual microscopy and other
virtual technologies for teaching histology, histopathology and
anatomy. Currently, I am supporting virtual microscopy for courses in
all four Schools.
