Teaching focus

Helping the students learn the process of “Community program planning, implementation and evaluation” is one of my primary missions in teaching, helping students learn skills to promote health in different communities in tangible and effective manners.

Research focus

“The US health care delivery system comparing with other nations, with a focus on the elderly and the disadvantaged”, is one of my primary research interests.

Service focus

As a health educator, I have been involved in a variety of community health education/promotion efforts throughout my career.  One focus is to help individuals change their health related behaviors, and the other focus is in helping the community understand that as a society, we collectively carry responsibility for each other’s health.
