Summary

I graduated with high distinction from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington Kentucky in 1993. My postgraduate training consisted of an Anatomic/Clinical Pathology residency in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Kentucky and a Transfusion Medicine/Blood Banking fellowship in the Division of Transfusion Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota. I am certified by the American Board of Pathology in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, and Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine.

Currently, I am a Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology in the Mayo College of Medicine and the Medical Director of the Mayo Clinic Therapeutic Apheresis Treatment Unit, a fifteen-bed unit performing approximately 3,000 therapeutic apheresis procedures annually.

I am actively involved in the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) and served as the president of ASFA. I also served on the Apheresis Applications committees responsible for the 2000, 2007, 2010, and 2013 therapeutic apheresis guidelines. I was recently appointed as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Apheresis. I have also served as editor and author for Apheresis: Principles and Practice 3rd edition and Therapeutic Apheresis: A Physician’s Handbook 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions. I have been an author on 108 peer reviewed publications of which 72 deal with apheresis.

In addition to my apheresis interests, I am involved in graduate medical education serving as the program director for the Transfusion Medicine Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic and the associate program director in charge of CP curriculum for the Anatomic/Clinical Pathology residency program at the Mayo Clinic.
