I have been involved in several courses since my arrival at the University of
Houston College of Optometry. My main involvement is in the clinical sciences
department with additional teaching responsibilities in the graduate program. I
have served as the coursemaster for the Ophthalmic Lasers, Refractive Procedures
and Surgical Techniques course delivering approximately 24 hours of lectures
during the Spring semester. I also teach 3- 2 hour laboratory sessions each week in
this course that require “hands-on” demonstration of advanced techniques such as
laser iridotomy, injections and suturing. My graduate program instruction is
focused in two courses; the core course (crystalline lens and anterior chamber
physiology). My passion for teaching exists to prepare optometry and graduate
students to develop into sound clinicians in the former and solid teachers and
researchers in the latter. In both, I present material in an attempt to bridge the gap
between basic and clinical science, showing the connections and vital work of
each. In addition, I hope to instill in all of them a love for life-long learning as
techniques and standards of care evolve for optometry and vision science.
