It is my goal in teaching students about the drugs they will recommend and dispense to merge meaningful experiences from my drug discovery and teaching backgrounds. I want to instill in them an understanding of the most meaningful aspects of the drug structure so that they become Structurally Proficient Pharmacists, blending that with drug discovery stories and origin stories of modern pharmacotherapeutics so that students have a scientifically meaningful, relevant, and satisfying learning experience.
