Nothing has driven me to learn and be the best physician I can be than to be able to teach my learners clinical skills, role model communication and interpersonal skills, and provide guidance to learners on topics of ethics and professionalism.
Nothing brings more joy than seeing the excitement in learners when they connect with a concept and supporting and encouraging their desire to go beyond and seek out answers to additional clinical and foundation of science questions. What inspires me is the ability to harness the creativity and curiosity of students, to take that idea or interest and develop a new educational offering that allows learners the opportunity for professional growth.
