| How does SIUE support your professional growth or activity as a Teacher-Scholar? "I am trained as a drug information specialist, but also spent time training in an ambulatory care clinic as well. This allowed us to be able to create a unique service at SIUE. The Drug Information & Wellness Center at SIUE is unique in that it combines a wellness aspect along with a traditional academic drug information center. The wellness focus allows us to provide education and screening for chronic diseases to SIUE and the surrounding community in an effort to improve management and prevention of many chronic diseases." Please share how one mentor or event shaped your career decision to become a university professor. "Teaching was a requirement of my residency that I was initially dreading. However, my residency director really took time to work though ideas with me and used many active learning strategies in the classroom and in practice settings that I was able to learn from. I also received a great deal of feedback on my teaching that year that helped me to improve and to feel more comfortable in the classroom." |
