I joined the team here at WellSpan in 2017 as an assistant program director and have been director of the emergency medicine residency program since 2019. I am now also serving as Program Director for our new emergency medicine medical education fellowship. As the first female program director in the history of the emergency medicine residency program, I have a strong sense of pride in our graduate education programs as well as our emergency department. The residents and attendings here are real people. We all have busy lives outside of work and respect one another. Professionally, we all work extremely hard to prioritize excellent resident education and to provide exceptional patient care. I am confident that I will retire from this organization.
Interests: medical education, resident curriculum, in-training preparation, cognitive bias, resident resilience, faculty development
