Summary
- I have worked 20 years as an orthopedic spine surgeon. I have published and spoken extensively. Although I love teaching, research and patient care, I am ready for a new challenge. I have recently completed an MS in Health Care Delivery from Dartmouth/Tuck as a step toward retooling my skill set to take on a more administrative role in a larger health care organization. I would like to retain a part time clinical role as a surgeon as well
