Clinical Interests:
Since 1998, I have worked as a general pathologist at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC and have been very fortunate to practice all disciplines of laboratory medicine over the years. My practice now primarily focuses on hematopathology, including autoimmune testing, and medical biochemistry. For over eleven years, I served as both Department Head of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Royal Inland Hospital and also as the Area Medical Director of Thompson Cariboo Shuswap Labs in the Interior Health Laboratory System.
