About Dr. Florence Flint
Dr. Florence Flint supports Health Sciences faculty members across Cintana Alliance institutions in designing high-quality Structure and Function sessions that are relevant, impactful, and aligned with contemporary standards for health sciences education.
She guides faculty members in transforming early ideas into structured practice guides for active, technology-enhanced laboratory sessions. Structure and Function focuses on the integrated study of anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology, and biophysics — preparing students to understand the human body and apply that knowledge in patient care.
Dr. Florence helps universities implement the Cintana Learning Model for Health Sciences by supporting the design of practice guides that promote active learning, clinical relevance, and meaningful student engagement. The practice guides she helps design encourage the use of diverse educational resources and technologies, including virtual reality, augmented reality, digital anatomy platforms, virtual microscopy, surgical videos, physiology experiments, body painting, body projection, imagenology, clinical procedures, and other innovative methodologies.
Her work is especially focused on helping faculty create sessions that are structured, feasible, and inspiring: sessions with clear learning outcomes, purposeful workstations, relevant clinical cases, interactive activities, reflective questions, and aligned assessments. Through this process, Dr. Florence helps institutions strengthen the quality, consistency, and innovation of Structure and Function education across programs in Medicine, Nursing, and other Health Sciences fields.
Dr. Florence is trained as a Ph.D. educator in Anatomy and Medical Education, with experience in curriculum development, digital laboratory design, faculty training, virtual dissection, clinical-pathological integration, and active methodologies such as case-based learning, team-based learning, gamification, and technology-enhanced practical education.
