Teaching

A surgeon by training, I have 35 years of experience teaching anatomy to medical students.  At UNT Health Science Center, I currently serve as the laboratory course director for all gross anatomy courses for first year medical students, and co-instruct additional anatomy courses for physical therapy, physician assistant, and Masters of Science students.

Courses Taught

• MEDE 7811: Musculoskeletal and Skin Systems 1 (medical students).
• MEDE 7812: Nervous System 1 (medical students).
• MEDE 7615: Cardiopulmonary System 1 (medical students).
• MEDE 7611: Gastrointestinal & Renal Systems 1 (medical students).
• MEDE 7715: Reproductive & Endocrine Systems 1 (medical students).
• DPHT 7200 & 7400: Clinical Anatomy 1 & 2 (physical therapy students).
• MPAS 5401 & 5208: Clinical Anatomy 1 & 2 (physician assistant students).
• SARS 5401: Structural Anatomy (graduate students)

Outreach

I am heavily involved with outreach programs at the UNTHSC Center for Anatomical Sciences.  These programs, including Mentors for Life, the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences (TABS) Summer Bridge Program,  the JAMP summer programs, and the UNTHSC Anatomy Pre-matriculation Workshop, give K-12 and college students interested in pursuing careers in science and/or medicine a unique opportunity to experience human anatomy in a medical school setting.

Research

My research broadly focuses on human anatomical variation with a particular emphasis on clinically/surgically-relevant structures.
