Professional Bio
I am an Assistant Professor in Baylor College of Medicine’s Orthotics and Prosthetics Program and Adjunct Associate Professor at Alabama State University's College of Health Sciences. I'm investigating the use of simulation-based training to advance practitioner clinical skills in body segment measurement and shape capture – key steps that influence the effectiveness of the interface between a client-patient's body segment and an orthosis / prosthesis.
