Summary

  • I am board certified in Pediatrics, Neurology, and Ophthalmology but, I am retired from patient care and would like to find a job in health care administration. I have long experience in administration, 20 years as a department chairman, board member of financial management organization, and many other committees, including sitting on the university senate. My administrative interests are not confined to Ophthalmology, I would work in any administrative role, hospital or large practice. I would be best suited for HR but can and would fill any administrative position.
