What have your working relationships with allied health support staff been like throughout your career? Do you envision the nature of these relationships changing as a residency program director?

"They've been excellent. A clinical practice is built around a true team effort where every individual utilizes their expertise and I'm the type of physician that allows support staff and the nursing team to perform to the best of their abilities. My colleagues have always appreciated my open lines of communication and my ability to connect with them on a personal level. I currently work side-by-side with a Physician Assistant and a full nursing team that includes RNs and LPNs. I love to promote fun and humor while working hard. I'm very excited to join this program as your next residency program director and work alongside the amazing medical assistants, schedulers, and other support staff I've been able to meet with throughout the interview. I get the strong sense that this is a passionate, fun, and dedicated team."
