Biographical Sketch
I also serve as Director of our rapidly expanding Division of Sports Medicine. In that capacity, I have pushed to expand our opportunities for the musculoskeletal education of our medical students. I have begun to develop much broader interdisciplinary research initiatives in Heat Illness, the Female Athlete Triad, and concussion research, as well as to serve our university as Head Medical Team Physician.
Interests

An entirely web-based Essentials of Clinical Practice Course, a longitudinal fourth year curriculum attempting to better prepare "physicians that get it", young doctors who are both competent and satisfied in their medical careers
A new fourth year musculoskeletal and dermatology required rotation to bolster graduates' understanding of diseases and examination of the musculoskeletal and dermatologic systems, a common weakness in many medical school curricula
An integrated examination system for all courses in the first and second year curriculum
An intercollegiate OSCE with the Colleges of Medicine and Nursing
