About me
UK-trained Physician Associate/Assistant (PA) with a background in clinical medicine, pharmacy, governance, research, academia and military medicine.
I am currently enjoying working in the US as a Director and Associate Professor in PA academia. My long-term goal, however, is to provide strategic leadership (CEO or equivalent) for a hospital trust/health system.
Outside of work, I am a devoted husband and father. I volunteer my time at church and in various medical capacities. I also serve on several professional boards and believe in a commitment to lifelong learning.
Activity
The use of mini-lectures is an interesting concept that I hadn't thought of before.
I also neeed to start using more lesson plans and giving more active demonstartions inm yclass (5-7 steps max)
I have learnt about the importance of having a To Do List.
I also now better understand how and why I should make introductions to my students each day.
The importance of syllabi, objectives and course outlines for students.
I will als now take a more novel approach to the use of textbooks in/for my classes.
Fianlly, the importance of (effective) goal setting.
The importance of professionalism.
Also, what resonates with me most is to not try and be the smartest perosn in the room. Instead, be passionate about the students and the subject you are teaching.
