Research Interest:

Our general interest is in curricular development, and small group case and video development.

Description:

We are currently involved in two aspects of small group video conferences. Our interest is on developing conferences that utilizing the human simulator and a Team-based Learning discussion format, and the assessment and improvement of two-way communication in video conferencing. In addition, we are developing clinical case studies and patient/clinician videos for use in physiology or nutrition conferences and small groups and with interdisciplinary groups, eg., medical students plus physician assistant students and nursing students.
