for
Excellence in Teaching
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence,
therefore, is a habit.
--Aristotle
Daniel C. N. Chan, DMD,
DDS
"Teachers must remain approachable, with open
doors and open minds. We must be personable, yet
maintain the high standards of our own
teachers." (Dr. Chan, right)
"Educating residents goes well beyond detailing
diseases on a chalkboard. I hope my students have
learned how to think about clinical problems and how
to listen to patients, both with their ears… and their
stethoscopes." (Dr. Henderson, left)
"I really have fun explaining biology and science
to the students. The more they understand, the better
off they will be in the long run as physicians and
researchers." (Dr. Kellogg, left)
"Teaching is a creative endeavor, and a shared
experience that leaves me with a sense of
accomplishment as I watch each Medical School class
progress. In every class I hope that a few students
will choose to become medical educators--that may be
the ultimate reward." (Dr. King, right)
"The real joy of being a teacher is working with students. I learn more from them
than they learn from me--they ask the questions that force me to grow and
rethink my knowledge." (Dr. Sloan, left)
"My education in fine arts and work in psychiatry
have given me unique perspectives which influence my
teaching. I consider myself an artist when I create
learning experiences." (Dr. Vogel, left)
