I was previously employed as a Gastroenterology Nurse Practitioner with Dr. Jay Kamath for a total of 11 years. In this position, I functioned independently in evaluating new patients as well as follow up visits. I require extremely limited supervision by a physician due to the fact that I have been an APRN for 21 years and I have a vast amount of clinical knowledge and feel very comfortable working independently. I was responsible for the care of patients with diagnoses which included, but are not limited to GERD, Viral Hepatitis A, B and C, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, and Celiac Disease. In this role, I was responsible for examining these patients as well as formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan. I order diagnostic testing including labs, imaging, Colonoscopies and EGDs and I was responsible for interpreting the results of this testing to aid in determining a treatment plan. I prescribed a wide variety of medications for treating this patient population. I have a great deal of experience with using E Clinical Works as an EMR and also have experience with Telemedicine.
