Coursework Taught


Anatomy and Physiology: This course is designed to provide in-depth examination of the structure and functions of the human body. This course will cover the basic biochemistry and cell physiology upon which the study of human physiology will be based. It also covers the structure and functions of human tissues, and the Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Special Sensory, and Endocrine Systems, Cardiovascular, Immune/lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive Systems and Fluid/electrolyte and acid/base balance. Includes a required laboratory. 

Biology: This course is designed for non-science majors to help students understand the process of scientific advances. It will begin by discussion of basic biological concepts, the distinction between living and non-living things and the origin of life. Includes a detailed study of cells (cellular structure, function, and processes), basic principles of genetics (how genetic information is stored, reproduced, inherited, expressed and mutated), and the relevance of these basic genetic principles to current social issues such as human genetic diseases, genetic cloning, biotechnology, drug development and cancer. Genes of populations, natural selection, and microevolution will also be discussed. 

Nutrition: This course looks at the importance of an appropriate diet and nutritional practices in one's life. It provides students with an introductory look at macronutrients and micronutrients. It reviews their basic metabolism, absorption, transport, and their effects on an individual's diet to promote optimal health and lessen the risk for chronic disease. Students will assess and compare dietary intakes to national reference standards.

Medical Terminology: Designed to introduce medical terminology and human anatomy and physiology. Prefixes, suffixes, and root words will be emphasized.

Basic Clinical Techniques: Designed to instruct routine procedures for physical examinations, including positioning and draping, techniques for obtaining temperatures, pulse, respirations, blood pressures, heights and weights, aseptic techniques, and charting medical histories.


Pathophysiology: Designed to introduce students to common diagnostic procedures, tests, and disease etiology and pathology by specific body systems.

Medical Front Office/Billing and Coding: Designed to emphasis forms, administrative procedures, and practices related to managing a medical office and utilizing the computer to schedule appointments, entering patient information, entering insurance, entering patient transactions, posting payments and creating patient statements.

 

Physical Education: Designed physical education classes for children K-12 in a private school.

Evaluations, Surveys and Questionnaires


Evaluations- University of Cincinnati    

The table is based on the end of term survey used by the University of Cincinnati. It is used to measure the effectiveness of the professor as determined by the students.

The evaluations were combined from Spring and Summer terms. Students, peers and administrators were important contributors to the classroom observations.



Evaluations- Fortis College

The evaluations were combined from the Fall, Summer, and Spring courses. Students, peers and administration were important contributors to these classroom observations.

Self-evaluation- Conducted through the University of Cincinnati for increase in instructor status.
This evaluation was constructed when applying for an advanced instructor status at the University of Cincinnati. The evaluation was a part of my professional dossier at the University of Cincinnati. Creating and implementing a self-evaluation allows you to look at yourself in a holistic fashion. It allows me to see areas for improvement and to realize that everything that I do is a learning process. By evaluating myself, I gain a better perspective on my teaching styles, philosophies and effectiveness as an educator.


Private Practice: Clients and Patients

Evaluations and Feedback from New Clients over the last 6 months

According to the surveys each new client saw a drastic rise in how they felt from the beginning of the program. This proves that there is a
consistent increase in the body, mind and spirit of my clients.
