Teaching Philosophy

I have been fortunate to be actively involved in veterinary student education at 3 top veterinary colleges where I have served as course coordinator for the core surgery course: the University of Florida, The Ohio State University, and North Carolina State University. As a soft tissue surgeon, I have been particularly engaged in experiential learning, low-fidelity models, cadaver exercises and live animal surgeries to teach essential skills to veterinary trainees. By my estimation, I have had the pleasure of training over 1500 veterinary students in basic surgical skills over thousands of hours of laboratory teaching. After receiving specific training in healthcare communications and leadership skills, I have also become increasingly involved in training professional students, house officers and faculty in these areas. My involvement in skills training has made me acutely aware of both the difficulty and the importance of providing meaningful assessments of student and resident competency in the clinical learning environments.
