| Don Ridgway is a practicing vascular technologist and an instructor in the vascular technology program at Grossmont College in California, where he was responsible for seeing that program become the first vascular technology curriculum to receive American Medical Association accreditation. Don brings teaching skills from several different disciplines and areas of experience: He has taught writing and fencing (swords, not chain-link) at San Diego University, and for ten years he played and taught bluegrass banjo, mandolin, guitar, and Dobro. He still gets to pick occasionally when he is not on call, lecturing, or grading quizzes. |
