Research Interest
As a medical professional since 1971, I have always held a strong respect for medical accreditation, credentialing, and licensure. It is in these areas that I have made published inquires, hoping to bring improvements to the professions that my students will spend their medical careers.

Teaching Philosophy
Since the content that I teach requires the integration of both cognitive and psychomotor competencies, I believe the teacher has a primary responsibility to, likewise, integrate critical-thinking based education with skill performance. I strongly support the "brick-and-mortar" academic experience, and the benefit this brings through student/teacher conversations.

The relationship of a standardized pre-admission examination and success on the respiratory therapist credentialing examinations.November, 7 2015American Association for Respiratory Care International Respiratory Congress, Tampa, FloridaDirectors of Respiratory Therapy Programs are challenged to admit students with the ability to academically prosper and eventually be successful on national credentialing examinations. Similarly schools of medicine, law, and pharmacy utilize standardized pre-admission examinations as part of program matriculation criteria. This study is designed to assess the correlational relationship of scores attained on a specific standardized pre-admission examination with scores attained on the national respiratory therapy credentialing examinations.
