These Team-Based Learning sessions were preceded with a quiz of 10 to 12 questions over clinical vignettes for each student based on current lecture material. At the beginning of each session, a similar but more difficult quiz was taken by each group of 5 students on a laptop using Blackboard. After submitting the quiz, the students could review their grades, and the challenges to the questions were discussed with the whole class. The students were then given extra questions over the same vignettes which were then discussed before the whole class by a representative from each group in an interactive way with the faculty director of the session. The process was highly rated by the students in surveys. 8/2006 - 9/2006 Introduction To Religion in Medicine Conducted small group sessions in the application of religion to medical care. 9/2005 - 3/2006 Team-Based Learning Sessions in Pathology I conducted and was primarily responsible for the preparation of the 14 Team-Based Learning sessions where in we interacted with half the class at a time by helping them with their on line quizzes and public questions and answers by the students over the assigned material. 8/2005 - 9/2005 Freshman Medical Students' Clinical Experience Met twice for about 1 hour with about 15 students to discuss their 2 week rotations on wards. 8/2005 - 9/2005 Introduction to Religion Faculty member for 5 freshmen medical students in directed Bible study group (total = 8 hours) 4/2005 - Present Senior Seminar Moderator of program for special issues for soon to graduate senior medical students 9/2004 - 5/2005 Small group preceptor Mentor for Pathology Small Group sessions for sophomore students = 40 hours 7/2004 - Present Alumni Freshmen Welcome Freshman Orientation and Welcome as a representative of WEMS and Alumni Assoc.

Instructional Prep of New Material
	1/2009 - 5/2009 Preparation and implementation of 6 team-based learning modules No lectures were given for these topics.  Instead, production of self-study material and self assessment in preparation for sessions was done.  The sessions included individual and group quizzes for credit based on case studies as well as group application quizzes covering difficult cases and questions.  Group use of laptops and Turning Point audience response units was required for quizzes and cases. 6/2007 - Present New Pathology Text Book Evaluated, selected and adapted Rubins Textbook of Pathology to sophomore pathology course. 4/2007 - Present Acquisition of Aperio Virtual Scanning Microscope 4/2007 Aperio Scanning Virtual Microscope Arranged funding [ one third from Pathology Department, one third from California Tumor Tissue Registry [CTTR] and one third from the School of Medicine] for purchase of scanning scope to prepare our own virtual slides for teaching and preparation of subscription slide sets for the CTTR.

Highly rated by the students. 9/2005 - Present Introduction of Team-Based Learning to Pathology Lab Revised quizzes and case studies into format adaptable to team-based learning (TBL) where groups of 5 to 6 students share a laptop for the lab exercises. Seventeen groups meet in the Pathology teaching lab at the same time. Expected to learn the issues of the assigned objectives before each session, each of the students come prepared to take a paper quiz individually over the current material which is largely based on morphologic correlation with the clinical presentations of diseases. (by their laptop) together after discussing each of the questions and submits it for automatic grading of their group''s answers with immediate feedback. The faculty session leader then interacts with the entire half of the class to review the important issues. Then the small groups are given a second quiz over new cases and images which the members discuss together. Again the quiz is submitted to BlackBoard for immediate grading and feedback, and the faculty session leader discusses those answers and other important issues with the entire half the class. So far, so good. 8/2005 - Present Virtual Microscopy Arranged for virtual microscopy to be set up for Histology and Pathology teaching on the LLU servers. Now faculty and students can view digitized glass slides that were scanned by low power views and then magnified for objects of interest. Survey of sophomore medical students of the class of 2007 found a very positive preference of virtual microscopy to microscopes with the usual glass slides. 5/2005 - Present BlackBoard Changes Adapted sound files so that lectures and reviews are now posted on BlackBoard for the students to use as they see fit. Initiated a process that allows students to view morphological modules with voice comments. The reception has been overwhelming. 4/2005 - Present Setting up Intranet Access in AHBS for teaching Wireless and access ports installed in Pathology level of AHBS for student use.  SOM Deans office provided 20 more laptop computers for newly introduced Team-based learning sessions so that each small group in Pathology labs can display images for cases, do virtual microscopy and take quizzes on and off line. 7/2004 - 6/2005 Fund raising for Student Affairs Council Raised over $13,000 (not including the more than generous $2,000 from the Brailsford Fund) for the Student Affairs Council of the Alumni Association by handwriting over 200 letters. 7/2004 - 8/2004 Initial integration of sophomore year In an initial step to integration of the sophomore year, I initiated and accomplished the concept of rearranging the lectures of the Pathology, Physiology and Pathophysiology so that they supported and synergized each other over the entire year.
