I am a Clinical Associate Professor of Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Coordinator for the Pathologists’ Assistant Program, graduated with a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Biology from Central Connecticut State College and a Master’s of Health Science degree as a Physician’s Assistant in Pathology from Quinnipiac College. I have taught for the Pathologists’ Assistant program as both academic instructor and clinical preceptor for more than 40 years and has been Clinical Coordinator at Quinnipiac since 1973. I regularly teach graduate courses in Microscopic Anatomy (PA 511), Basic Human Pathology I & II (PA 513 & PA 514), Applied Anatomic Pathology (PA 517), Autopsy Pathology (PA 520,521,522) and Surgical Pathology (PA 523,524,525).
Teaching in my labs allows the Path Assistant graduate students to focus on human anatomy and how various disease states effect each system. An emphasis on normal histology utilizing the microscope with a focus on neoplasia is introduced throughout the semester. Additional labs focus on frozen section tissue preparation as well as surgical & autopsy pathology grossing techniques.
