Amy has been adjunct faculty at Georgetown University for the WHNP/CNM program teaching a primary care course. Through her experience in both management of two ambulatory surgery centers and a clinician, she has a keen eye for process improvement, quality assurance, and a passion for advancing the role of advanced practice providers. Amy serves as the Chair of the APP committee for the American College of Gastroenterology, leads the mentoring sub-committee and is humbled to be working with other accomplished GI NPs/PAs throughout the country.
