I have been teaching physiology to osteopathic medical students since 1978. I have taught cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, muscle and autonomic nervous system physiology. Although I do not still actively conduct research, my major areas of interest remain the physiology of the cardiovascular system, the coronary circulation, and the mechanisms of control of blood flow.
