I am a former course director for \u201cIntroduction to Biochemistry,\u201d (BIOC 107\/107L and BIOC 108\/108L), our two-semester series of lecture and lab courses targeted to students preparing for careers in nursing, dental hygiene, or radiologic science, and to any other students desiring an introductory survey of biochemistry with as much human and clinical relevance as possible. Those were 4-credit hour courses, with three lectures and one 2-hour lab session each week.<\/p>\n<p>I was also the course director for the Biochemistry course in the Medical Education Development (M.E.D.) Program. This was an intensive 9-week summer program, sponsored by the UNC Medical and Dental Schools,\u00a0 designed to enhance the opportunities in the medical and dental professions for disadvantaged students.<\/p>\n<p>I was also involved with the first-year medical school curriculum in the \u201cMolecules to Cells\u201d block of instruction. I was a UNC Medical School Teaching Scholar during the 2005-2006 academic year, and was elected (2007) as an inaugural member of the UNC Medical School\u2019s Academy of Educators. I served on the UNC Faculty Council from 2007 to 2010.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1977-2014 (2014-2024 adjunct professor) About Arrel Toews | Biochemistry and Biophysics (unc.edu) PhD &#8211; Ohio State University;\u00a0Research Professor Biochemistry &amp; Biophysics, UNC-CH HONORS &amp; AWARDS 1996 \u2013 Johnston Undergraduate Teaching Excellence 1997 \u2013 Favorite Faculty Award (UNC Senior Class) 2003 \u2013 William C.
