Teaching Experience
The Animal Body (VETMED510). This is an entry-level course required of all first year students in the D.V.M. program. I have been involved in the course as the course leader, a lecturer, tutor, and laboratory instructor (gross and microscopic anatomy) during the past 12 years. The Animal Body is taught in a problem based learning format where the emphasis is placed on small group tutorial sessions. Fall semesters
Anatomy of the Ruminants (VETMED602). This course is intended for veterinary students, usually in their first year of study, and meets the distribution course requirements associated with The Animal Body. Thorough study of the body plan of ruminant animals, including bovine, caprine and ovine species, is undertaken with a mix of dissection and lecture-based approaches. Spring semesters
Predictions of Form and Function. (VETMED700) A seminar format course offered for graduate students and undergraduates (with permission of the instructor). Different themes are selected every semester the group meets, depending on the interests of the group. The discussions include a good mix of faculty and postdoctorals interested in vertebrate evolution and the concepts of form and function. Recent semesters have included a focus on issues such as muscle development, muscle function, and tissue-level adaptation. Variable credit
