C. Instructional Development

1. Formal Study to Improve Teaching Abilities:

MOODLE Training Session, 2006

This training session was designed to provide the basics of course design and delivery

using MOODLE e-learning software.

Blackboard Training Session, 2006.

This training session was designed to provide the basics of course design and delivery

using Blackboard e-learning software.

American Association for Respiratory Care Summer Forum, 1998-2005.

This annual meeting focuses on education and management as they relate to

respiratory care. Attendance has enabled me to remain current with respect

to issues, trends and advances in respiratory care education as well as to learn

innovative teaching strategies.

American Association for Respiratory Care World Congress, 1997-2004.

This annual meeting is the premier educational and research meeting for respiratory

care practitioners. Attendance has helped ensure that my teaching and research efforts

are current in the discipline, in addition to learning innovative teaching strategies.

Teaching Skills course conducted by the Department of Educational Resources and

Development, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, 1997.

Course to improve teaching abilities included the following topics: testing, measurement

and evaluation, teaching methods, use of instructional objectives, media and audiovisual

supplements to instruction, and learning activity design.

Doctor of Philosophy degree program, Molecular and Cellular Physiology,

Louisiana State University Medical Center School of Graduate Studies, Shreveport,

LA, 1992-1997.

Gained proficiency in use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),

spectrophotometry, differential centrifugation, light microscopy, DNA electrophoresis,

and animal surgery, including survival surgery requiring post-operative care and

monitoring, data and statistical analysis. Human physiology teaching assistantship

under the direction of a mentor served to enhance my teaching abilities.

Bachelor of Science degree program, Cardiopulmonary Science, Louisiana State

University Medical Center School of Allied Health Professions, Shreveport, LA,

1987-1992.

Education course was a required part of the curriculum and included the following

topics: principles of education, preparation and development for teaching, testing,

measurement and evaluation, teaching methods, lesson plan development, use of

instructional objectives, and media and audiovisual supplements to instruction.

Teaching practice included teaching cardiac anatomy and physiology, in addition to one

year as a teaching assistant in the clinical setting.

by respiratory therapists. It includes workshop sessions to enable the students to learn

about and understand such topics as age-specific criteria required by the Joint

Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), a sensory

deprivation lab to enable students to experience life as an elderly patient in an assisted-

living facility, and a cultural simulation that allows students to experience cultural

differences in a role-play situation.

Respiratory Therapist Education Programs,” curriculum development for core

competencies for respiratory therapists, as a part of the American Association for

Respiratory Care Genetics Curriculum Committee.

examination and graduate/employer evaluations in predicting graduate pass rates on

NBRC examination.”

1999 Research project entitled “Predictors of Respiratory Care Program outcomes”

1999 Research project entitled “Lethal arrhythmia recognition among graduating

baccalaureate degree respiratory care and nursing students.”

students’ critical thinking and problem solving ability to the Watson-Glaser critical

thinking appraisal and in-program GPA.”



1999 Coordinated and implemented “Clinical Instructors’ Training Workshop” held on May




1998 Research project entitled “Predictors of graduate performance on selected respiratory
