My teaching philosophy is derived from the expression, 鈥淕ive a man a fish, and you have fed him once. Teach him how to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime.鈥� My goals are to increase students鈥� curiosity, knowledge, and critical thinking and to show and encourage them to develop life-long active learning skills to face new challenges and future changes in pharmacy.
