Professor, Dept. of Neuroscience, Physiology, and Pharmacology
Dr. Bell educates on topics of muscle physiology and neuroscience within several courses in the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program and the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences. In these courses his goal is to break down difficult physical and biochemical concepts into paradigms that can be comprehended and remembered intuitively for future understanding the function of the body its response to disease and to osteopathic and pharmacological interventions. To help foster comprehensive educational approaches through deliberate, innovative curriculum design and delivery, as well as through supporting our students at all levels by means of appropriate resources, Dr. Bell serves on numerous committees involving student academic matters from admission through graduation. Dr. Bell also directs the Journal Club course for the Biomedical Sciences Research Concentration.
