Summary
- After a 33 year career that included several years working for corporate staffing companies; eight years as an Asst. Professor of Emergency Medicine at Vanderbilt; 13 years as a partner in a democratic, physician-owned emergency medicine group; and most recently several years of semi-retirement doing locum tenens emergency medicine - I am looking for part-time nonclinical work as I transition to full retirement. With my experience in healthcare policy and lobbying, as well as editing and writing, I would love a position on the board of a healthcare company or in healthcare communications.
