Why I love teaching:

Teaching physiology with a focus on preparing students for NBME and USMLE Step-1 is a dynamic and rewarding experience that aligns with my dedication to shaping future healthcare professionals. I am passionate about guiding students through the complexities of physiological processes, ensuring a thorough understanding that goes beyond rote memorization. In my class, students can anticipate a dynamic and interactive learning environment. I employ case-based discussions, real-world clinical scenarios, and innovative teaching methods to foster a comprehensive understanding of physiological concepts. Students should look forward to a supportive atmosphere where questions are encouraged, critical thinking is emphasized, and the application of knowledge to clinical scenarios is a priority. My goal is not only to prepare students for standardized exams but also to instill a lasting curiosity and appreciation for the dynamic nature of physiological systems in the context of medical practice.
