“Ah,
but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.”

The lines
above, taken from Bob Dylan's song "My Back Pages," sum up pretty well the
contents and intents of this page.
A little
look to the past, the present, and the future.
What
appears below now are just some personal musings -- and an occasional
rant... about shitty teaching, some insane stuff about a former
curriculum revision at the University of Michigan Medical School (more
on an even newer curriculum development and its draconian organization
coming), how I got into academia, and how a now 40 year old
encounter with a SOB faculty member opened my eyes to some realities.

Coming whenever
the mood strikes me: more revelations, professings, and rants.

| Learning
-- and teaching -- pharmacology: It's the memorization, stupid! |
No,
it's not just memorization, stupid! Take a look at my spin on how to learn
“pharmacology” and why many of you are getting horribly misled in how and what you're taught and what you should really be learning.

| Travels
to “The U” |
The
odd path of my professional travels from work hard-play hard (and slightly
insane) University of Miami, FL, to stodgy PC-Michigan, and lessons learned
along the way. |
| The
New Curriculum |
This
chapter, which I wrote for a book a colleague edited about the history
of the Department of Pharmacolgy, had to be “edited” (or, as I
view it, cleansed) before it would be published. Read the unedited version,
which apparently ruffled too many feathers in some thin-skinned folks. |
Dr. Prick
|
 My
adventures with Dr. Prick, and how what he said to me many years ago
was right-on about what a pharmacologist is, and how it impacts good
pharmacology teaching.

Curricular
reform at UMMS in the 90s, life in dean-hell, some really bizarre students, and worries about the future
of medical education. |
