James D. Smiley, B.A., D.C., has been teaching anatomy, physiology and biology throughout the Bay Area since 2000, bringing 15 years of clinical practice to the classroom; he recently crossed the landmark of having taught over 5,000 students. He developed and teaches the online human anatomy course and teaches the classroom-based lecture and laboratory course, as well as human physiology to first-year UC Berkeley students. His research interests have ranged from health economics in managed care to indices for predicting athletic performance. He cofounded and serves as the anatomic consultant for SuperSkin, a startup company creating a protective skin, through the use of carbon nanoparticles, aimed at reducing rotational forces acting on the head and neck in both high impact sports and military combat. He takes a regional approach to teaching human anatomy and, working through case studies and an aggressive, student-focused instructional technique, facilitates the development of critical thinking skills toward students becoming effective diagnosticians.
