What do you enjoy most about teaching at Allen College?
I really enjoy watching student’s grow and make connections through interactions in the classroom, clinical setting, and simulation lab. The smaller cohort size makes it possible to get to know students on an individual level and be an integral part of their experience at Allen College.
