Teaching
I am the Module Co-Director for Module 2, Musculoskeletal System of the Pre-Clerkship Curriculum of the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine, USUHS. This module covers the basic science and introduction to the clinical aspects of dermatology and the musculoskeletal system. I also coordinate the physiology and histology content that runs throughout the other modules of the 18 month Pre-clerkship Curriculum.
