About David Lopez, EdD

Faculty Self-Evaluation of Overall Performance -  Google Scholar Link - Curriculum Vitae - 

  1. In which area(s) of your discipline do you consider yourself strongest? 

I have specialized in and enjoy the adult critical care field and educational integration.  

As a clinician, evidence-based practice, and continuing education, I continue to keep abreast of current changes and innovations in adult critical care and education that include but not limited to mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary diseases and path physiology, research, and patient care issues and as they relate to education. I am still called upon by respiratory care practitioners to discuss critical care patients and mechanical ventilation as well as education at LLUMC (Loma Linda University Medical Center) and overseas.  

As an educator I especially enjoy the challenge of integrating didactic course work with clinical practice for students and the medical healthcare community. I enjoy relating cardiopulmonary concepts to students in practice and seeing the “ah ha” realization when they make the important connection to patient care. In addition, I enjoy curriculum development where I can develop programs locally and internationally in the field of respiratory care. I have had the opportunity across the years to develop several respiratory and non-respiratory care programs locally and internationally.  

 

  1. A) What are your greatest strengths as a teacher? B) What weakness(es) have you identified in the past? C) What have you done to strengthen your teaching skills? 

 

A)        I feel that I am a collaborator/networker and someone who empowers others through a servant leadership style. As a collaborator I enjoy learning, interacting/discussing, and presenting a variety of new methods to students and colleagues. Networking is a natural God given attribute that enables us to learn and exchange ideas. From the studies I have done and collaborated in, in the areas of brain-based learning, organizational planning, physiology, and my spiritual growth I see a pattern where there is an interconnection of thought, purpose, and outcomes that improve learning and education in healthcare. I feel empowering and networking with others is a form of service. I work with a variety of talented and gifted people and promoting and enhancing their skills and contributions is part of “making man whole.” I truly feel that we work in a providentially selected institution. I have come to embrace the mission of the institution as a God given prescription for a healthy spiritual, physical, and mental lifestyle. Based on my research on Loma Linda University’s mission I appreciate the council and wisdom of the mission.  

The Wholeness concept is a continuation of my strengths as a respiratory care practitioner and educator. With my adult critical care experience and educational background, I feel that integrating clinical practice with relevant practice is not only important but enjoyable as well. As an educator I have learned that for real learning to take place a foundation of inquiry, critical thinking, and clinical application are required to challenge students to be competent clinicians. For these characteristics to be realized by the students, education should be done in an environment that nurtures independent thinking, collaboration, and moving from a teaching to learning paradigm. This paradigm is faculty directed and student driven with objectives that nurture knowledge and independent thinking.  

The use of alternative educational strategies to improve effective education is an area that I continue to explore and share. Changing to a learning paradigm can be a challenge to students, as well, based on years of being taught with traditional methods. I have incorporated learning strategies such as analytical writing, student generated questioning techniques, problem-based learning, multiple intelligences, brain-based learning concepts, Vygotsky social constructivism, learning styles, collaborative learning, small groups, peer, and group evaluations, as well as traditional teaching. The use of technology has also been an area that I have brought into the classroom in the form of directed Internet and research driven assignments, learning how to integrate new content management systems like Canvas and Zoom with group and individual project development and presentations to improve learning.  

All the above are integrated in an environment of caring for the student as a person. As a Christian educator I feel that educating should be done with an effort to show a Christ-like attitude in the process and implementation of teaching.  

 

 

C) What have you done to strengthen your teaching skills? 

In addition to earning my doctoral degree in education, I continue to attend continuing education in my profession, conduct research, learn, study research, and collaborate with other faculty on new teaching methods, and strategies. The areas of curriculum development and learning strategies in new professions and in respiratory care internationally are areas that I enjoy and appreciate. I also enjoy and continue to study strategic planning of educational models at the classroom and institutional level. This continued educational pursuit has taught me much about how people learn, as well as how they do not learn. Learning different methods of learning and curriculum planning has been a great asset to me and in my teaching.  

I am also learning the benefits and process of new methods of assessment that support new forms of learning and teaching.  

 

  1. If you could change one thing, what would you most like to change about your teaching? 

I would like to change to a more student-centered learning style. Some of these learning styles are more difficult to apply in our entry level respiratory program due to accreditation guidelines and board requirements and preparation. In practice this would be more in line with Vygotsky constructivism. I have had more opportunities to try this form of student-centered learning at the post-professional BS and master's programs in our department. I would like to expand this to include more classes with the integration of clinical practice utilizing projects and presentations at the graduate level.  

 

  1. What was your most important accomplishment(s) as a faculty member in the past five years? 

 

My most memorable and meaningful accomplishments would be in the areas of research, and the development of respiratory care internationally. 

I have had the opportunity to learn and conduct research in a variety of areas respiratory care and healthcare. I addition, I have also been asked to peer review research manuscripts for publication in a few healthcare and education journals.  

In terms of representing LLU (Loma Linda University) and the respiratory care profession internationally, I have been blessed to assist and contribute to the development of the profession in several countries. I have had the opportunity to develop, assess, and implement programs internationally from advanced life support to assessing and developing the respiratory profession in Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, China, Peru, Nepal, India, and Japan to name a few. The international needs in allied health are great and I feel fortunate that I was able to contribute to the health education needs of others.  

  1. How do you assess your contribution to the institution? To the community? To your profession? Comment on both the quality and quantity of your contributions. 

To the Institution: 

 

My contributions in general are in collaboration. I feel that to provide a good outcome it is essential to combine ideas, thoughts, and critics from various points of view.  

At the institution level I feel that I have contributed primarily through IFAC representation in various committees: WASC, LLU-Board Subcommittee on Diversity, LLUASC Board Committee on Diversity, and representing SAHP and faculty governance concerns and issues. I have also contributed at the General Conference level representing the church and LLU/LLUMC at a White House health care briefing several years ago. At this meeting, the White House was seeking input from health care centers on forming policy and the impact of current health care concerns. I was able to contribute by representing the interests of the General Conference of SDA and LLU in health care. I have also contributed to the international mission of LLUH (Loma Linda University Health) in the international support LLUH/SAHP has provided in developing respiratory care in other countries. Further, and as an example, I was appointed as the Associate Director of the International Institute for Health Science representing LLUH in the Joint Management Committee for the LLUH, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, and Zhejiang University Hangzhou China.  

At the department level I feel that I have been successful in contributing and developing (I was appointed by the dean to chair the planning and developing committee) our new Master's of Science in Respiratory Care program in curriculum planning and design. Currently I am the department chair and have contributed to the overall ongoing curriculum planning for our three programs in the department.  

I also served at the request of the dean as department chair to the Physician Assistant program for several years to develop their faculty and department chair.  

 

To the Community 

 

My community involvement is at the local church and local community level. Over the years, I have been a youth leader and Sabbath School leader at the Calimesa SDA Church, which is active in community outreach (feeding the homeless, youth intervention, reading/mentoring program, etc.). I am also an Elder (co-head elder for a time), Church Ministry Council member, and deacon at the church that keeps me busy with projects in the church and local community throughout reach.  

I speak at local Spanish speaking churches on the topic of Christian education and LLU, with SAHP. I have also contributed to the Hispanic community, in underserved area, with talks to the youth and parents on education, and LLU when asked and actively when I see an opportunity (where there are many).  

To my Profession 

 

I am active in the education section of the American Association of Respiratory Care where I have collaborated on issues of learning strategies in abstract presentations, and with the education community at large. There is a great need for change in respiratory education, as the profession has matured, more educators have obtained advanced degrees. I am also a member of the state and local chapter of the American Association of Respiratory Care and have contributed when called to speak out on issues concerning the profession and education.  

I was a board member of the California Society of Respiratory Care (CSRC) and served as the co-chair for the Education Committee for Southern California. In this role I assisted and coordinated with my northern California counterpart in updating respiratory care practitioners in the process and practice of educating respiratory care in California, such as issues in accreditation, working with the state board, recruitment strategies, liaison for the board on education issues and topics (see attached topic presentations). As part of the annual state meeting, I was charged with providing a breakout session for educators and managers on current education related topics (see attached topic presentations). I also contribute in the areas of research that relates to respiratory care and healthcare.  

 

  1. Considering your answers to the previous question, how do you assess your overall performance as a faculty member in your department and in the University? 

 

Collaboration and networking continue to be a working motto with clinicians, faculty, students, etc.  Overall, I have and will continue to actively contribute as a Christian professional from the classroom and university to the respiratory care profession through the above-mentioned activities. I represent the mission of Loma Linda University and the School of Allied Health Professions. My goals are to continue my contributions at the school, university, internationally, and professional levels through collaboration and networking with others in projects and issues through educational and research endeavors furthering the mission of LLU.
