IV. TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS
1.
GSPH Outstanding Preceptor Award, Spring 2009 for my efforts to establish multiple student
field placements for GSPH students interested in the study of violence and its impact on public
health. These field placements involved both participation with community agencies and
discussion with me about the public health impact of violence, and how the student’s work with
the agency might be able to shed light on possible research questions related to violence and
public health that could be empirically answered.
