Speaking Engagements, Honors & Awards

Education is such a key part of what we do as clinicians on a daily basis - and a big part of what drew Amy to nursing as a career.  She has continued this love for education throughout her RN and NP career as a preceptor, mentor, adjunct faculty at Georgetown, and loves working with other clinicians as an experienced speaker. Amy has also worked as a consultant for GI practices to help facilitate with onboarding their first APPs.
