EMPLOYMENT
Attending Internist, Medigroup Mercer, Trenton, NJ 1985-1987
This position primed my interest in primary care as well as performing as a consultant in a specialty field. After this I went into private practice.
1988 - 2011
I have been in private practice for the past 31years in the same community where I have become well known. I was affiliated with Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in a variety of ways. I am Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine. I participate in various academic and teaching activities. As a result my knowledge of medicine is up to date. I care for (and admit) my own patients as well as perform consultations for a large number of colleagues. I have international experience in education and health related areas having served in the Peace Corps for four years. I am highly adaptible with respect to languages and cultures. I am a strong advocate of vaccination research and implementation both internationally and domestically.
