Testimonials
"The CAAMP program provided me with insights, tools and techniques that have proven to be valuable as I continually strive to become a better administrator."
Rodney Larson, Ph.D., R.Ph.,
Founding Dean, Husson University, School of Pharmacy
"I was very impressed with the quality and the depth of instruction balanced with group discussions and self-assessments. For me, as a department administrator, it was extremely valuable to examine the faculty (including Chairs and Deans) perspective on administrative issues and leadership."
Dima Long, M.A.,
University of Washington, School of Pharmacy
"Something for every level of academia. Discussion of topics that are of great value but not always covered in the faculty development and/or orientation."
Paul Luepke, D.D.S., M.S.,
Marquette University, School of Dentistry
"This series was informative, insightful and A LOT of fun. This course allows you to strengthen your core educational practices and brings you up to date on current topics in education. Offers a great platform to learn and exchange new ideas and practices with other professionals."
Jennifer Pieren, R.D.H., B.S.A.S.,
University of New Haven, Division of Health Professions and Science
"As a new assistant professor of biomedical sciences, my academic time is split between teaching biochemistry and biomedical science through integrated courses and conducting biomedical research in my new research lab. As a new faculty member of a fairly new dental school, I attended the ITL program to better understand dental students, gain insight into teaching strategies, and gain a greater understanding of my new role as an academic faculty member. The program met all these goals."
Katherine Howard, PhD.,
University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine
"This program gave me an opportunity to expand my network and undertake collaborative projects with faculty at other dental schools. The program has contributed to my knowledge in the scholarship areas that I am currently pursuing, and the seminars on teaching methodologies presented tools and techniques that can easily be transferred to our own institutions."
Lisa E. Itaya, D.D.S.,
Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, University of the Pacific
"My hope is to utilize the knowledge I've gained from attending the ITL program to improve my clinical instruction as well as further my academic career. I also expect to find it very useful to have gained an understanding of the factors shaping the future of dental education."
Ryan W. Johnson, D.D.S.,
University of Missouri-Kansas City, School of Dentistry
"I recently accepted my first full-time faculty position after twenty-one years in private practice. Though I worked one day each week with the Postdoctoral Periodontics Program at the Baylor College of Dentistry throughout those twenty-one years, I had no experience in full-time academics. The Institute for Teaching and Learning has provided me with valuable information and skills that will help me develop into a more effective member of the faculty at MUSC. What I have learned will make me both a better teacher/educator and a better faculty member able to work effectively in the academic environment."
