Teaching

Why do I teach?

Teaching helps me impart life lessons that students will never forget and puts you in a position to influence their decisions, behaviors, strengths, weaknesses, and imaginations.

Why study…

Evidence-based medicine provides healthcare professionals with scientific research to make well-founded decisions regarding investigations, diagnosis, and treatment. This evidence is taken on the basis of research. We constantly strive to improve, through research, the management of a particular case. The most important cause of conducting research is to influence and improve patient care. Other reasons are contributions to science and the society, recognition, and appreciation by the peer in the profession, acquiring a job, getting a job promotion or even to retaining your job.
