BIBLIOGRAPHY Statement of Research Interest
My research interest primarily involves therapeutic modalities used for post-acute care
rehabilitation and joint neuromechanics. This includes investigations incorporating temperature
changes during rest and following active exercise and skeletal muscle elasticity. In addition, I am
also interested in how therapeutic modalities influence and spinal motor neuron pool activity and pain
perception. By being able to understand the mechanisms of how therapeutic interventions work, we
are advancing our health care knowledge so that we may be able to provide patients with the best and
most appropriate treatment prior to therapeutic rehabilitative exercises.
Statement of Teaching Philosophy My teaching philosophy is based on the concept that “teaching is about students learning”. This
means that in order to improve teaching, I must focus on what students need to know and understand
in order for them to become successful medical professionals. As an educator, I am a firm believer
that learning is not a product. It is not about what a student can memorize and recite directly from a
book, literature review, or peer-reviewed research manuscript. It is about acquiring new knowledge
or skills and synthesizing the information; a process that occurs with time. In order to achieve this, all
teaching opportunities should be taken into consideration regardless if the learning occurs in a
classroom, clinical rotation, laboratory, email, office, or hallway.
