Education

My approach to medical education moves beyond didactic lecturing. I believe in a reciprocal relationship between educator and student, grounded in active participation and critical thinking. Rated in the top 10% of lecturers at Wits University, I strive to make complex pharmacological concepts clinically relevant through innovative, case-based models.

Teaching Philosophy & Methodology

I utilise a "Flipped Classroom" model to transform class time into interactive discussions rather than passive listening. My methodology focuses on:

1. Disruptive Learning: Using clinical cases and script errors to challenge assumptions and enhance rational decision-making.

2. Digital Integration: Training students to utilise mobile medical applications (e.g., EMGuidance) for real-time, evidence-based drug information.

3. Visual Learning: Creating animation-based educational tools to simplify complex mechanisms of action.
