Why I love teaching:

Teaching gross anatomy and embryology with a focus on preparing students for the NBME and USMLE Step 1 exams is a gratifying endeavor that combines my love for teaching with the practical goal of ensuring students succeed in their medical careers. I find joy in guiding students through the complexities of the human body's structure and development, laying a solid foundation for their clinical understanding. In my class, students can anticipate a meticulously designed curriculum that aligns with the specific requirements of these crucial exams. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and integrative learning experiences, using interactive methods, clinical correlations, and case-based discussions to enhance their understanding. By emphasizing the relevance of anatomical and embryological knowledge to clinical scenarios, I aim to equip students not only with the information needed to excel in exams but also with the critical thinking skills essential for their future medical practice. My passion lies in witnessing their growth and success, and students can look forward to a supportive and engaging learning environment where their academic and professional aspirations are nurtured.
