I have practiced as a physician assistant since 1987 and although teach full-time, still practice once weekly at a local hospital. I have been in PA education since 2000 full-time and have served in various roles. Prior to coming to St. John's in 2015, I served as Assistant Program Director and Director of Didactic Education at Tufts University PA program. I also served as Department Chair at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (Dept of PA Education).
