Teaching Profile
Courses Taught
Teaching Philosophy
My focus on teaching medical students, residents and physicians generally uses a modified Socratic case based method that challenges students to think outside of the box and to engage in critical analysis that develops defensible, reason based positions on difficult, complex and often controversial bioethics issues. I also believe it is crucial to always treat students, residents and physicians in a collegial professional manner recognizing that this subject matter may be quite different than their past educational focus and thus lead to some discomfort and stress. I also routinely use humor and personal experiences to put the audience/students at ease and to illustrate just how difficult some of the ethical issues facing physician physicians and other health care professionals are.
