Research Interest

I believe one of the most successful teaching styles is when a teacher is truly involved and sincerely interested in his students. I am inspired to share my learning, teaching, and research experiences on the basic pharmaceutical sciences with my students. The goal of my teaching is to explore many possible ways to mentor students as they become self-directed learners promoting patient centered health care.
