In the short time she’s been in this role, she has established a customer-focused office that performs a wide range of functions related to resident records and academic administration as well as admissions and resident support services. She has contributed significantly to increase the number of Master’s students and preceptors.

Throughout Covid, Linda was instrumental in the transition to online learning and she credits her team for their outstanding customer service, efficiency and accuracy.
