About Joseph Weber

Teaching is my calling and my passion. I love being in the classroom with students and passing on the knowledge that I’ve learned throughout my career in academia, the medical field, and the business world.I feel like this combination of experiences makes me unique. I can take complex information and drill it down to make it memorable and easy to understand. But I can also identify opportunities for academic and process improvement.I’ve started programs, managed budgets, led staff, and been awarded Tenure, but everything for me comes back to the students. I currently teach in the physician assistant program a wide range of topics including clinical medicine, pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and research methods. I also teach at A.T. Still University in their Doctor of Medical Sciences program. My passion is being in the classroom with students and I have received extremely high student evaluations for the entirety of my career.Outside of teaching, I enjoy hiking, being outdoors, and fixing old cars.
