My most significant accomplishment, thus far, is my appointment as chief of cardiology at St. Joseph Medical Center, the largest and most successful heart program in the state of Maryland.
Cardiology is traditionally a male-dominated field.
There are only three full-time women on the staff. It gives me a sense of pride that I have maintained the position through some very difficult times in the health care industry. I do clinical teaching rounds regularly. I also serve as a clinical coordinator for both nurse practitioners and physician s assistant students. For many years, I have spoken at my daughters school, as well as my sons .
