Bio/Research
I am available to offer anatomy teaching sessions to the public. Presentations are done using bones, anatomical specimens, artificial joints, basic medical tools and photos. Previous presentations include the Shad Valley Program at Memorial, Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, Women in Science and Engineering Newfoundland and Labrador, Future Pathways, as well as fitness instructors, ski patrollers, physiotherapists, and standardized patients. Over the past 20 years I have visited various schools and demonstrated to students from kindergarten to Grade 12.Destinations include Clarenville, Conne River, Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls, Goose Bay, Northwest River, Sheshatshiu, St. John's, Trepassey and Wesleyville. Judgment and discretion is applied in deciding what is appropriate to show each group, according to their maturity and goals. This project is a way for Memorial University to share its resources with the province, and perhaps even to encourage more students to consider medicine as a career. It will definitely help keep me inspired as a teacher.
