Instructor Information: |
|||
Instructor name: Dr. Theilman joined the faculty of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy in 1994. Early on, he realized he wasn't very good at managing his time. However, he realized that good time management is a skill that can be developed like any other, through practice and repetition. He hopes to get it right, someday. Dr.Theilman also teaches in a variety of courses in the P1-P3 years and offers an elective rotation called "Teaching with Technology". Last summer Dr. Theilman had some time on his hands and decided to bicycle from New Orleans to Cleveland, Ohio. The question he gets most often is not "Why did you bicycle?", but "Why did you go to Cleveland?" |
