For the first six years following residency I worked as a FP in a community health center in Emmett, Idaho where I still reside. The practice included hospital, ER rotation and obstetrics. The first three years were payback as a National Health Service Corps scholar, then I stayed an additional three years. In 2004 I became board certified in hospice and palliative medicine. I worked part-time with a local hospice until 2005, when I switched to full-time hospice work with the same organization. For two of those years I also worked in an evening urgent care at the Emmett hospital. In 2009 I took a position as Palliative Care Physician in a new program at the VAMC Boise. This included teaching residents and students, doing hospital and oncology clinic consults and attending on an 8-bed hospice inpatient unit. I recently took a position as Medical Director of the Palliative Medicine service at St. Luke's RMC in Boise, plus medical director work with St. Luke's Hospice.
