I have recently been fortunate enough to have been appointed as a professor on the teaching faculty of Midwestern University's Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am currently assigned the following rank and designation:
Clinical Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine
Department of Internal Medicine
Midwestern University
Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine
I am honored and excited about this designation. Our program director and the chairman of internal medicine, Dr. Matzura and Dr. Reich, have worked very hard to get the university to expidite my application and get some of the fellows and chief residents on the teaching faculty. I am truly honored and will cherish this opportunity. I highly recommend that everyone take advantage of this opportunity if it presents itself.
On a personal level, I have always loved teaching and will continue to teach (and learn!) for as long as can. I don't do it for a pat on the back, I don't do it for titles, I don't do it for monetary gain. You either enjoy teaching, or you don't. I love it and don't care for the accolades or acknowledgement.
I also love learning! I am thankful to be in a field that changes every day. Not a day goes by where new stuff isn't being tried to see if we can get better outcomes and better quality of life. That is exciting!
I plan to learn as much as possible and try and be the best damn physician and cardiologist that ever existed! I am extremely competitive (in a very non-chalant and quiet way) and will do anything and everything possible to be the best there is! I have an internal drive that doesn't like to accept or settle for second best.
I am excited and very honored about this new faculty appointment and will do what I can to teach as much as possible on campus, on the hospital floors, in clinic, in the stress lab, echo lab, on the football field, on the internet..... and any where else where I can be useful!
