1. Course Coordination
I am currently the coordinator (i.e. director) of seven courses, including one first year dental student course (Growth and Development), two core courses (Research Design and Methods; Physical Growth and Maturation), and four Orthodontics courses (Principles of Scientific Methodology; Craniofacial Growth and Development; Radiology and Cephalometrics; Advanced Cephalometrics). Each of the courses requires administrative oversight, planning, scheduling, and coordination of participating faculty.
2. Curriculum and/or Course Development
Over the years I have made major changes to the courses and lectures that I am responsible for. The core course, Research Design and Methodology was designed from scratch some 10 years ago. It is part of a methodology "stream" of courses, that starts with the methodology course, followed by Applied Biostatistics (for which I provide 8 lecture hours), and Research Ethics. Similarly, I helped to developed a core "stream" of craniofacial growth courses, which begins with a course in Craniofacial Development, followed by Postnatal Craniofacial Growth ((for which I provide 4 lecture hours), and Physical Growth and Maturation (which I coordinate and provide 3lecture hours). I was also primarily responsible for developing the four courses in the Department of Orthodontics that I coordinate.
I also developed a course to prepare our residents for the Phase II exam given by the American Board of Orthodontics. Over the last 20+ years that I have had this responsibility, all of our residents have taken and passed this examination. Our residents attained the highest score on the examination three out of the last five years that the Board officially recognized the highest score. Based on the course that I developed at Baylor College of Dentistry, the College of Diplomats of the American Board of Orthodontics as me to develop a preparatory course for other orthodontists planning to take the Phase II exam. This all-day course was given yearly between 2003-2009 at the annual meetings of the American Association of Orthodontics.
3. Continuing Education Courses Given
I have also developed CE courses pertaining to evidence-based dentistry that are given every other year at Baylor College of Dentistry, every year at the national meeting of the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, and regularly throughout the world.

F. Research and Scholarly Activities
1. Areas of Research and Scholarship
My research areas of interest pertain to craniofacial growth, the evaluation of treatment effects and motor-oral function. Following my doctoral work in somatic growth, I developed expertise in longitudinal craniofacial growth assessment during my postdoctoral fellowships at the Universities of Connecticut and Montreal. Expertise in growth provided the background for my strong interests in clinical studies evaluating the short- and long-term morphological consequences of orthodontic and surgical treatments. More recently, my clinical research interests have focused on optimizing and understanding the effects distraction ostogenesis, especially dentoalveolar distraction. Over the past 10 years, great research efforts have been made to enhance the application of miniscrew implants for orthodontic and orthopedic treatments. To understand how form and function are related, I have also developed research interests in various aspects of motor-oral function, including masticatory performance, jaw excursions, jaw kinematics, jaw muscle forces, and jaw muscle physiology. Various clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate function of different populations, assess the effects of therapy on function, and relate morphological changes with changes in motor-oral function.
