Department of Cell Systems and Anatomy

Anatomical Variation and Professional Student Education Research

My original research area was neuroendocrine control of reproduction, particularly with reference to the pineal gland.  I have taught anatomy and neuroscience for over 40 years and my current main interaction with the graduate program is to serve on committees of our MS Program in Anatomical Sciences as an expert in anatomy and professional student education.  My particular niche is the preparation of questions used in the evaluation of educational thesis projects, usually as pre and post tests. This is based on my decades-long service on committees of the National Board of Medical Education.
