Associate Professor of Healthcare Management
"I believe that one of the most important skills I can teach my students is to critically evaluate and verify the information they receive, rather than accept everything at face value. In the end, one of the most important roles of education is to teach students not what to think, but how to think for themselves; not what kind of argument to support, but to weigh those arguments and make informed decisions. "
Natalia Gray, Ph.D.
