Professional Biography
After spending 7 years in general practice in rural Nova Scotia, I returned to study at the University of Toronto to complete my dermatology training in 1981. Since then, I have been on active staff in the Department of Medicine at Dalhousie University in a clinical and an academic environment. I practise general dermatology, seeing patients in my private office and also at the university hospital, where I am involved with a training program in my specialty.

I also teach undergraduate medical students at Dalhousie University. My work involves relating to family doctors, as I have participated in many continuing medical education programs.
