| Introduction | I graduated in 2007 “with Distinction in Humanities” from the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine. I am a “non-traditional” (read: mid-life-crisis-old) entrant to medicine. Previous incarnations include 10 years enlisted service in the U.S. Marine Corps, as a Military Working Dog Handler, 5 years as a Community Educator for Planned Parenthood, 3 years as an Alternative Education Teacher of foster care children. I trained as a resident in Emergency Medicine for two years at Detroit Receiving Hospital. I changed residency programs, cities and specialties. I completed training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. I completed the Hospice and Palliative Medicine (HPM) fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). I was a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of PM&R at the University of Pittsburgh. I am now an Assistant Professor - Clinical in the Department of PM&R at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I am board-certified in both PM&R and HPM. |
