Susan is currently Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program, Director of the Primary Care Track, and Co-director of the Ambulatory Care Clerkship. She is therefore well positioned to take on the new leadership responsibilities in advancing the educational mission of our department.

She then performed residency training in Internal Medicine at the University of Rochester Strong Memorial Hospital. In 2000, she arrived in Stony Brook in the Division of General Medicine and Geriatrics, and assumed many of her current teaching responsibilities. She is at the rank of Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine in our department. She has made major service contributions to our school and national societies including chairing the Clinical Course Directors’ Committee in the School of Medicine and chairing the Public Policy Committee of the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine (APDIM).
