I recruited Dr. Larsen and we have been teaching colleagues for 5 years; it was one of the smartest things I\u2019ve ever done. Pam is a superb teacher; her enthusiasm is contagious.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, her expertise is broad (from anatomy to animal models, to development, to molecular techniques, etc.)! Importantly, she has a knack for phrasing her criticisms of the students\u2019 presentations in a positive and constructive manner. Last year, Pam agreed to become Course Director just as the pandemic hit; it was very fortuitous as Pam\u2019s organizational skills are far superior to mine. She facilitated a smooth transition to remote learning and even brought us into the 21st century, using Canvas in very creative ways. I was particularly impressed with her professional, but caring, approach to student issues, from missed classes, to troublesome research mentors, to scheduling around courses and even a student\u2019s pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Pam is an outstanding course director. Even more impressive, she did so on top of an already heavy teaching\/directing load [contributions to 5 different dental courses and 2 graduate courses (Basic Histology and Molecular Biology)]. In addition, she had accepted directorship of INTD5035 and according to Dr. Kay Oyajobi did an equally wonderful job there; to quote \u201c\u201cLast fall (in the middle of COVID pandemic), Pam stepped up and took on directorship of UTeach, a workshop\/ course for postdocs, advanced graduate students and junior faculty. Even though this was at very short notice following retirement of the previous director, Pam organized and ran the course smoothly and effectively\u201d \u201cevaluations from participants were very complimentary.\u201d Dr. Larsen is highly deserving of a Star of Education award.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button carat-double\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uthscsa.edu\/academics\/medicine\/profile\/larsenp\">Dr. Larsen&#8217;s Faculty Profile<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639072901938{background-color: #f7f4f0 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639492428558{background-color: #f7f4f0 !important;}&#8221;] Pamela Larsen, PhD Associate Professor Department of Cell Systems &amp; Anatomy Nomination Submission: I am honored to nominate Dr. Pam Larsen based on her exceptional contributions to CSAT6072, a course designed to provide our Masters students the opportunity to hone their scientific speaking skills.
