overview
I am primarily a teaching faculty member and also a board certified radiologist. In the past I have spent some time researching the use of computerized applications for detection of calcifications on mammograms, but I am currently devoting all of my time in the neuroscience department to teaching. I am a full time participant and senior faculty member in the medical gross anatomy and neuroscience courses. I also maintain some private practice time in radiology and work in the Office of Student Affairs at the medical school. My current research interests are in the domain of medical education, especially looking at determinants of licensure exam performance.
