At Yale School of Medicine, she is an Affiliated Faculty in the Program in Addiction Medicine. Additionally she is the ConnAPA Board representative at HAVEN (Health Assistance InterVention Education Network), and nationally she serves as a facilitator for the Physician Assistant Education Association Faculty Skills workshops.
