Professional Experience

What path has your career taken since your residency?  Include military service, private practice, academic career, teaching and research accomplishments.

 

I have been in group practice following my residency completed in 1984 until 1998.  Private practice in neurology -EMG, musculoskeletal consults, inpatient and disability consultation (1999-present)

 

Residency Recollections

We are interested in anecdotes and experiences from your residency years.  Include interactions among fellow residents and teaching staff.

 

I have wonderful recollection of excellent teachers and good friends with the teaching staff.  Dr. Anderson, Mahowald, Cranford, Ettinger, Roldofs.  My closest friendship in my residency was with Denis Burnet, and Randy Bjork.  

 

Looking back, would you do it again?  What would you change?  Overall the residency was excellent.  A mixture of hard work, good education and training, and many enjoyable times.

 

Additional Thoughts

Share your thoughts regarding the changes in medicine since your residency.  In your opinion, is Neurology positioned well for the future? 

 

Neurology has become much more specialized since residency training; I think the Neurologist is least practiced for the future with a sub-specialty or niche practice.
