Expertise

There is a growing recognition that medical education should be evaluated with the same rigor as biomedical science if we are to produce better health care providers. My current scholarly work is concentrated in two areas: The evaluation of curricular innovations in medical education and the development of graduate degree programs to train the next generation of anatomy teachers and educational researchers.
