Objective

To work in an integrative medicine clinic using my skills in trigger point injection therapy, prolotherapy, Physician acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and ultrasound guided MS injections, to improve patient outcomes where allopathic approaches have failed. In addition, I would like to continue to practice as an occupational health expert, travel/tropical medicine expert and to continue providing primary care, acute care or Emergency Care, with an academic association. If possible I would also like to continue to provide aeromedical services as a flight surgeon abroad and to provide care to military veterans within the VA medical system where I can continue complimentary medicine research within and academic setting.
