• Engage students across multiple settings including classroom, laboratory, necropsy suite, microscopy lab, and simulation-based environments to support diverse learning styles and promote active learning.
• Contribute to curriculum integration and innovation, working collaboratively to vertically and horizontally link pathology with clinical medicine and foundational sciences.
• Participate in student assessment, feedback, and remediation, ensuring graduates meet high standards for morphologic interpretation, critical thinking, and professional competence.
• Mentor students in scholarly and creative activities related to pathology, diagnostics, education, or innovation.
• Maintain teaching and disciplinary excellence through continuing professional development and engagement with advances in pathology, diagnostics, and educational methodology.
