Research Interests
Chronic conditions and how they relate to public health. The aim here is to understand the trends and patterns seen in patients suffering from these conditions, with the hope of discovering novel medical and non-medical (i.e., social) therapeutic solutions that can reduce the incidence and prevalence of these conditions, improve the lifestyle of patients living with these conditions, and provide hope to these patients that are particularly from historically marginalized, underprivileged, and impoverished populations.
The use of several learning strategies and instructional design in determining student outcomes.
The use of ultrasound in medical and anatomical education. Does it improve clinical reasoning and academic outcomes?
