Biography
I am the first African American to achieve the rank of Professor with tenure in The Ohio State University Department of Family and Community Medicine. A graduate of the University of Toledo and OSU College of Medicine, I completed the family medicine residency at the Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, California, and earned a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Michigan School of Public Health, Department of Health Management and Policy. I have been recognized as being among the top 10 percent of physicians nationally for patient satisfaction. I was elected to serve as Chair of the Association of American Medical Colleges Group on Diversity and Inclusion (2013-2015) and President-Elect of the National Medical Association July 31, 2019. I also provide service for the AAMC as faculty for the Healthcare Executive Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program and Minority Faculty Leadership Seminar.
