My Philosophy
I am one of those who firmly believe that
"knowledge is the best prescription one can get". As a former family doctor
now full time faculty and an educator, I know that I need to keep current
in my discipline, and I do so through continuous research and study and
encourage my students to do the same. I strive to "infect" my students
with enthusiasm towards learning about science and with a lifetime commitment
towards continuous education. Learning and applying knowledge to help
others is just one of my passions that I am strongly committed to.

My Interests
My interests and current work as an educator are related to integration
of Internet Technology in promoting learning and knowledge retention.
My intention is to continue working on designing and maintaining my Student
Resources pages. The online links on my class pages have been carefully
selected in order to assist students in comprehension of science topics.
My favorite teaching subjects are related to the field of Anatomy and
Physiology, Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Immunology, Genetics and
Toxicology. As a medical doctor my interests and research are focused
on emerging diseases, biological agents, prevention and early detection
of naturally or intentionally occurring outbreaks and public health concerns.
In addition, I like researching social sciences topics that are concerned
with studying methods and ways to manage social and economic disruption
caused by major outbreaks of diseases.
