Christine Fuller
Christine graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore with a Bachelor of Science in Medical and Research Technology in 1999. She began her work in healthcare in the transfusion medicine (formerly blood bank) laboratory while she expanded and raised her family. While knowing that healthcare was her calling, Christine realized that she was missing a critical component in career, direct patient care.
She graduated in 2009 with her Masters in Health Science, Physician Assistant from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she also tutored classmates in several courses. Christine went on to work in adult hospital medicine with additional opportunities to experience the surgical specialties and sub-specialties. She has continued with her first love, hospital medicine. She has worked as an adjunct faculty at Drexel University and has participated in the exam development, item writing and editing, and review with the NCCPA. In addition to her career as a healthcare clinician, she enjoys the outdoors, and training with her dogs in animal-assisted therapy and various competitions. Christine has had a strong desire to educate healthcare providers in concordance with her clinical work.
