In the coming year, I am pursuing the activities that will define my career in academic medicine: caring for ... [more]

I have taught Literature at four schools in England and Australia to Grade 7 through to Grade 9. I have derived enormous pleasure from this. I never cease to be amazed at student's reactions, insights and individual responses to the world of fiction or poetry when I explore some of the world's classics or contemporary works with a class.
