Community faculty share their knowledge, skills and abilities with learners in a wide variety of practice environments to provide a holistic view of medicine. Learners have come to rely on our Community Faculty for a real-time perspective of day-to-day patient care.
Christian H. Joyner , MPA, PA-C, Assistant Professor, School of Health Professions
“EVMS has done tremendous work for the benefit of its students and alumni. I have continued to learn and grow professionally from participating as a preceptor for the past 10 years and Community Faculty for the past five years. I can only hope to give back to the student body as much as EVMS has given me.”
Charles Hastings, DPM, FACFAS, Assistant Professor, Family and Community Medicine
“The most satisfying part of educating the next generation of providers is knowing that a small part of me will continue to care for patients for eternity. We will never truly know how far or long our influence will travel.”
Maria L. Gonzalez, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Clinical Ophthalmology
“As a faculty member, I enjoy introducing the residents to the field of Ophthalmology and rediscovering our specialty through their eyes. I also like being exposed to some pathology that is rare in my private practice.”
Robert J. Pariser, MD, Professor, Dermatology
“The aspects of teaching I find most rewarding are observing students evolve into colleagues and, for some individuals, watching them learn to emphasize experience and evidence over authority.”
