About Me

I have taught Anatomy & Physiology and have been a college professor for 21 years. I love teaching both in the classroom and online.

My hobbies are floral photography, Yoga & cycling and I try to ride 75 miles each week. Yes, those are my flowers you see posted throughout my course. There is no better mental massage for me than to be outdoors allowing the wind to blow through my hair & refresh my neurons. My other love is gardening and I enjoy a wonderful Summer in my garden with my pansies, Shastas, azaleas, rose bushes, rhododendrons, New Guinea impatiens, etc. I love a colorful yard!! My indoor hobby is growing gorgeous African Violets. Yes, they are one of my favorites!!

My other passion for the past 7 years is conducting Medical Mission Trips to Haiti where we have established a medical clinic, pharmacy and educational scholarships for children.

  • Physician Assistant Professor Leads Service Trip to Haiti

    Rhonda Hazell, clinical associate professor in the Institute for Physician Assistant Education and coordinator of clinical anatomy, recently completed an international service trip to provide medical care and support to residents in Haiti. Hazell led a group of medical and non-medical professionals, as part of her affiliation with the non-profit group Lifting Hope, to a community in the Tabarre suburb of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. This trip was latest of a number of mission trips to Haiti led by Hazell. 

    The 10-day onsite visit in December enabled Hazell and her team to give medical care to students and their families in the Saint John Baptist De La Salle School, a pre-K through ninth-grade primary school that was established by the Brothers of the Christian Schools following the devastating earthquake in 2010. In addition to patient care, Hazell’s trip also included delivering donated medical supplies to the school’s health clinic, evaluating academic scholarship opportunities for residents, and visiting the area’s orphanage.
