In sports, the hard work and discipline required combined with repeated opportunities to face challenges taught me a lot about dealing with stress and accomplishing goals. However, learning is not just about discipline. When I'm learning or teaching, I tend to find the fun...

...high school level. I believe in the "See one, Do one, Teach one" method. I think it is important to see examples of how problems are solved and then be guided in doing a problem together. Afterwards, understanding can be assessed by having the student teach back what they understood so that any missing pieces can be addressed. Outside of medicine, I play basketball and love watching sports (primarily basketball, football, and hockey). I am...
