Dr Chand Dod PhD

My name is Dr D and I am a scientist, professor of human anatomy & physiology, and longtime STEM educator.  I did my university work in biomedical engineering & physics with a focus in biochemistry and biostatistics.  My MS and PhD are in cardiovascular and hemodynamic physiology.  I have been an educator for more than a decade now and have taught thousands of students the fundamental principles of human anatomy & physiology, physics, statistics, differential calculus, algebra, organic chemistry, general chemistry, biostatistics, biochemistry, English literature & composition, biology, and multivariable calculus.  I have also created and run examination preparation courses for students interested in taking the GREs, MCATs, PCATs, DATs as well as medical students taking the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 exams.My strength as an educator comes from critically scrutinizing information and incorporating various opinions/perspectives into my own.  Doing so has allowed me to develop a thorough understanding about the topics that I have taught.  I strive to provide that knowledge to my students through comprehensive explanations as is evidenced in my lecture videos and reinforced practice.When I am not teaching, I love to cook, play videogames, solve puzzles, build/tinker, and laugh.  I don’t liken myself to a comedian by any stretch of the imagination but nevertheless, I love to make myself and the people around me laugh. I work in very serious and stressful environments so being able to add levity to situations has been integral for me and how I manage stress. I take my work and what I do very seriously, but by no means do I take myself seriously; I am my biggest source of laughter.
