Dan Becker, D.D.S
 Dr.
Becker received his bachelor of science in zoology from Ohio University
in 1968 and his doctor of dental surgery from Ohio State University in
1972. Although Dr. Becker is a dentist, his interest always centered on academia and
he began teaching biology at Sinclair Community College (Dayton, OH) as a part-time instructor in the
autumn of 1972. He accepted a full-time faculty position in the Dental
Hygiene department in 1976, but continued his teaching within the Biology
department as well.
Dr. Becker's
interest in pharmacology and anesthesia attracted him to Miami Valley
Hospital where he became involved with their dental residency instructing dental residents and learning from mentors during rotations
within departments of anesthesia and emergency medicine. During
this time, he developed and taught courses in pharmacology and pathophysiology
for nursing and other allied health programs until his teaching at Sinclair
became entirely devoted to these subject areas. Currently he is a full
professor at Sinclair Community College and Associate Director of Education
at Miami Valley Hospital. He has published in numerous scientific journals
and textbooks, and lectures extensively throughout the United States and
Canada.
