I have being practicing emergency medicine as a physician assistant for 13 years. I have always seen patient's of all ages, but most recently 2/3 of my shifts are specifically in a pediatric ER, while the other 1/3 are at a community hospital and level 1 trauma center. I pride myself on caring for wide range of acuities and keeping my knowledge up-to-date. I started doing medical case reviews the last 2 years and have done a total of 5 (3 plaintiff and 2 defendant). Between my experience and knowledge, I feel comfortable reviewing medical charts for all age ranges. I can ensure a quick turn around time and look forward to continuing to grow my case review career. I appreciate the opportunities!
