Summary
I have diverse work experience across my > 20 year career. My prior positions include primary care services in multi-specialty group and Federally Qualified Healthcare organizations; correctional health care; urgent care; occupational medicine, and administrative work for a government agency. Each of these positions gave me an appreciation for the breadth of medicine. I believe this made me a rather well rounded professional. Most of my direct care experience has been in primary care.
At this point in my career, I want to pursue opportunities outside of primary care. Optimal positions include urgent care, remote medical services, correctional healthcare facilities, occupational medicine and administrative roles.
