Talk about your job and what you like best about it.<\/b><\/p>\n

I am a coordinator in Graduate Medical Education. We help to facilitate all the training programs for the house officers on this campus. I handle all onboarding of new residents\/fellows to include licensing and new hire paperwork. I handle all billing to facilities such as the VA, Children’s, Methodist and rural sites where our house officers rotate or actually do their residency when they are a rural resident. Otherwise, I handle the day-to-day requirements in GME. <\/p>\n

I love who I work with — that is one of the things that makes my job the best. Not only is Vicki Hamm an amazing leader, I get to work directly with Dr. Chandra Are and Stefani Coleman also. I deal with all of our coordinators, and they are great too. There is never a dull moment. Just when you think life at work will slow down, it will surprise you. I love helping people, and when we hire all of these new doctors each year, trust me, they need a lot of guidance. Some days I go home wanting to pull my hair out, but together we all make things work here in GME.<\/p>\n
