Practice/Research Interests

My basic science specialty is in the study of action of the drugs in neuropsychiatric disorders and chronic pain. My current scholarship focus is in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL), which focuses on identifying the best teaching methods to help students learn and succeed.

You can find selected lectures on Dr. Buhler's Pharmacology YouTube Channel.

Outside the Classroom

Dr. Buhler has enjoyed living in a lot of varied places: Canada, Japan, the Bay Area, Denver, Iowa, Fresno, and here in PDX (although she didn't really enjoy Fresno as much...). To relax, she reads a ton of fiction, binge-watches Netflix, gardens, and does the local chalk art festival every year. The thing that most students will remember about her, though, is her severe addiction to unsweet black iced tea! You will never see her in class without it.
