I am Dr. Mark Wittler. I started teaching at TSC in January, 2020. I have a wide educational
background including an AA degree in Agriculture, a Bachelor’s degree in wildlife
biology and a Doctorate in chiropractic. I teach Anatomy & Physiology and Pathophysiology
courses on the TSC Valley campus. The structure and functioning of the body always
fascinated me as well as natural healthcare. I have published research on the chiropractic
treatment of PMS and written a manual on radiography. I retired from private chiropractic
practice after 25 years and returned to teaching in 2017. Previously I taught radiology
and clinical practice at a chiropractic college and taught anatomy and physiology
at both a 4-year college and a nursing college. Additionally, I have been a firefighter
and medic for over 40 years working mainly as a volunteer and EMS instructor for the
last 35 years.
I have been married for over 40 years. We have four daughters and one son. I guess
you could say that healthcare is in our blood. My wife and son are both firefighter/medics
and our four daughters are all registered nurses.
Teaching has always been a passion for me. It is a privilege to be part of the educational
process, especially for those entering the healthcare field. An understanding of how
the body functions is vital in the treatment of patients. I strive to include “real
world” examples on the application of concepts in the courses I teach in order for
my students to see how what they are learning is important to their careers.
I realize that people learn differently and strive to present material in various
ways to enable all students to have the opportunity to learn. I am proud to be a part
of Trinidad State College.
