MCW TEACHING ACTIVITIES: |
Medical Student Education |
2007 - 2012 Lecturer at Anesthesiology workshop for the Medical Student Anesthesia Interest Group (includes anesthesia monitoring, intravenous catheter insertion, and airway management) |
2007 - Present Teach medical students in the OB suite/operating room and pain clinic. I personally teach an average of one medical student per week, including airway management in the operating room and interventional pain procedures in the pain clinic; this is an opportunity to show medical students what we do in anesthesia and pain medicine to motivate their interest) |
Resident and Fellow Education |
2007 - Present Resident and fellow instruction in the OR, OB suite, and pain clinic, including hands-on teaching of airway management, anesthesia for the patients in the OR, interventional pain procedures, and medical management of patients with chronic pain |
2013 - Present Designed and taught monthly acupuncture mini-workshop for fellows, residents, and medical students. This workshop is an important part of their pain clinic rotation/education because they are not exposed to acupuncture during the medical school didactic program. After completing the workshop residents are able to use acupuncture as an alternative treatment to treat post-operative nausea/vomiting in the recovery room |
2013 - Present Resident Preceptor, Pharmacy and Neurosurgery Physician Assistant program, during OR and pain clinic rotations. The pain clinic often shares patients with neurosurgery; by teaching these Physician Assistant residents, they become familiar with interventional procedures we perform for chronic pain patients |
