work at a hospital based clinic in Queens, much closer to where she lives. This is an academic position and also allows
her flexibility in her hours for when she decides to have children. We will miss her and wish her luck.
As of September 4, 2007, Dr.
Eman Eskander, who started in July, 2006 as a part time physician became a full
