Teaching

At Plymouth, I am module leader for the following modules:
BHCS1009 Cardiovascular and Respiratory Pathophysiology
BHCS2013 Principles of Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Sleep Analysis
BHCS2014 Clinical Physiology Instrumentation and Techniques
BHCS3014 Reproductive Science 
I have taught physiology to various groups of students (medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, applied medical sciences, postgraduates) in all areas of physiology using lectures, laboratory classes and student centred PBL tutorials. I prefer to teach topics from all areas of physiology, so as to remain aware of current changes in all fields of human biology. Over the past few years I have taught nutrition, musculoskeletal, endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular and reproductive physiology. My experience of teaching in a hybrid PBL curriculum has given me an increased awareness of current issues in all the medical sciences.
