Previous TEACHING ENDEAVORS at the University of Florida, Jacksonville:

Standardization of ultrasound training, group learning for OB/GYN residents since 2008-2009

Perform certifications for the OB/GYN residents in performing first trimester dating scans, cervical length and amniocentesis.

Series of Hands-on Ultrasound training for the residents 2006-2008

A series of hands-on ultrasound training for the residents with a two-hour block every other month to work with them performing ultrasounds and perfecting their skills.

Ultrasound Curriculum for OB/GYN residency 2005-2006

A web-based ultrasound curriculum for the OB/GYN residents to allow them the resources (images, video clips, articles, and textbook chapters) to learn more about prenatal diagnosis.

Master Educator Fellowship program

At the University of Florida, which is an 18-month program that consists of didactic study and practical application in areas of medical education. These areas are considered necessary to develop a substantial level of scholarship in the field of medical education specifically: methods of instruction and evaluation, education leadership and mentorship and educational research. During that program, I designed a web-based ultrasound curriculum for the OB/GYN residents and was able to launch it for the academic year of 2005-2006.

Berlex Junior Faculty Development Workshop

A week-long intensive workshop concentrating on epidemiology, clinical trial design, statistical analysis, and skills necessary for publication in the peer-reviewed literature. The objective of the program was to refine participants’ understanding of the research and publication process, assist them in their own research efforts, and enhance their teaching skills. The workshop includes didactic presentations, study groups, and hands-on exercises with computer analysis programs.
