Bio
Holly Bender, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVP: I have been an active member of the TBLC community for many years and have been honored to be personally mentored by Larry Michaelsen in TBL since 2003. I am currently a coauthor and editor, alongside Larry Michaelsen and Michele Clark, for the forthcoming Team-Based Learning: A Transformative Use of Small Groups in Teaching (2nd Edition).
I have taught veterinary students, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars using TBL since 2003 and now serve as a faculty developer at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, where TBL is used throughout the curriculum. I also mentor UA CVM faculty in educational research and scholarly teaching.
Prior to this role, I spent ten years as Associate Director of Iowa State University’s teaching center and Director of ISU’s Preparing Future Faculty Program. During that time, I led a TBL Faculty Learning Community that grew to more than 250 members, supporting instructors across disciplines in adopting and refining TBL.
I was honored to serve as a plenary speaker at the 2023 TBLC Annual Meeting.
