Why I love teaching:
Passionate about teaching pharmacology and therapeutics, which bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice. Through dynamic classes, I empower students with knowledge of drug mechanisms, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. I create an engaging environment where complex concepts are presented clearly. Using case studies and discussions, students develop critical thinking skills essential for healthcare careers. I foster inclusivity, encouraging exploration and enthusiasm for pharmacology. Together, we embark on a journey to understand pharmaceuticals and enhance patient outcomes.
