Resuscitation from Cardiac Arrest
My past research has focused on resuscitation from cardiac arrest. We have explored the effects of prolonged cardiac arrest, defibrillation thresholds, and the effects of various drugs in an effort to gain a better understanding of the factors affecting survival in cardiac arrest victims. Although I am still interested in that area, my efforts are now focused on teaching and service. My teaching primarily falls into four areas: Physiology, Medical Emergency Procedures, Cased Based Integration of Basic Science Material and Ethics; taught to dental students, medical students, graduate students and residents. I coordinate the BLS/ACLS Training Center for the Dental Branch under the auspices of the American Heart Association, providing BLS and ACLS training to students, faculty, residents and staff. In addition to traditional lectures, I conduct problem-based learning sessions and also utilize team-based learning. Furthermore, I help facilitate an online Community of Interests website on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for the American Dental Education Association. I have been and continue to be involved in faculty governance at the school level, the HSC level and at the UT System level.
