Recruited as a researcher, James Turpen, Ph.D., delivered exactly two lectures to students during his first three years at UNMC. After being invited to help teach the embryology core, Dr. Turpen gained an appreciation for integrating basic science with clinical practice. This is the last in a three-part series highlighting UNMC's Outstanding Teachers.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Turpenmug.jpg
