Dr. Rashmi Bhargava Coordinator: OB/GYN

My teaching pet peeve: When students text during my lecture or teaching session The best advice I received: Pick the right time, right place and right environment if providing constructive criticism to any student. My most memorable teaching moment: too many to count… when I make students laugh while they learn from me! I started teaching because: I always wanted to be a teacher… but became a doctor instead… so this is the best of both worlds for me. My favourite part of teaching is: seeing the students gain knowledge, confidence and strength in themselves as they go through the rotation! My favourite thing to teach (& why): the process of labor and way some babies don’t deliver vaginally!! And OB emergencies! Star Trek or Star Wars? Star Wars. If I could choose one superpower it would be: the ability to read minds… The biggest obstacle to teaching/learning: keeping up to date myself… but teaching forces me to stay current! My inspiration for teaching: is my mom… who was an early childhood teacher when we were growing up… calm, cool, collected when she taught the little kids but she loved her job… just like I l ve mine!
