Graduate Medical Education/Continuing Medical Education (GME/CME) Coordinator
What do you do on a daily basis or what sort of duties do you have at work?
I just joined the staff here, but I will be overseeing the journey that we are about to embark into becoming a Texas Medical Association CME Accredited Institution. I also will assist with Graduate Medical Education, specifically helping with student/observers, orthopedic and rheumatology residents and fellows.
What was your first job? What path did you take to get here or what led you to Scottish Rite? How long have you worked here?
My first job in health care was a nursing administrative assistant to a medical surgical nursing director. I eventually worked my way into nursing education, and then expanded into GME. I am passionate about providing a special experience in every connection I make. Being able to provide efficient service and coordinate educational opportunities for our health care providers is a way I contribute to the excellent patient care they are able to deliver.
What do you enjoy most about Scottish Rite?
The culture here. Everyone I have met has been so exceptional! My HR recruiter, my new coworkers, our volunteers and security officers — everyone has been very welcoming.
Tell us something about your job that others might not already know.
It is somewhat a new role, at least the CME side of things. Currently, we work with another institution to provide CME credit. But once we go through the TMA accreditation process, we can offer CME on our own and possibly have more opportunities to offer CME to our providers.
What do you wish you knew more about?
I can’t wait to learn more about the fellowships offered here, as well as seeing a fellow through the complete process.
Where is the most interesting place you’ve been?
The most interesting place I’ve been to is Venice, Italy. I enjoyed the rich culture and history it has to offer, and it was truly amazing to see how flooded the city gets when it rains!
What would you rate 10 / 10?
Work related – Microsoft Office 365. I absolutely love being able to work with such up-to-date software, this should not be taken for granted! Fun related – Sprinkles Cupcakes. BEST. CUPCAKES. EVER!
Is there anything that are you looking forward to in 2022?
The journey of accreditation!
