TEACHING INTERESTS
My teaching philosophy is shaped by my experiences as a learner and grounded in social and adult learning theories, with an emphasis on motivation and self-directed learning. I promote active engagement through flipped classrooms, structured discussions, and assessments that foster critical thinking. I also use a systematic approach to breaking down complex concepts and connecting them to prior knowledge and clinical application.
Over the past nine years, I have gained extensive experience teaching graduate-level courses to MPH students, health professionals (including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant students), and PhD students. My teaching portfolio includes courses in
1) Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology,
2) Evidence-Based Practice,
3) Research Methodology,
4) Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis,
5) Medicare Policies
