notably Epic. In 2007, I was named Credentialed Epic Trainer with full responsib

y rate me 4.78 / 5.0 for presentation and value of these initiatives. I am also

kflows is that of a committed, knowledgeable and patient trainer who can help th

As a member of your team, I will continue to drive the growth of electronic medi
cal records management, and support its implementation in healthcare facilities.
