my internal medicine residency at Strong in 1977, I received the American Lung
Association fellowship in pulmonary medicine, studying respiratory muscle fatigue
at the University of Michigan, and was recognized by the American College of
Chest Physicians as one of the ‘Young Pulmonary Physicians of the Future.’
Since my fellowship, I have taught at the University of Texas Health Center
in Dallas as a clinical assistant professor, with a private pulmonary medicine
practice at Methodist Medical Center, where I was codirector of pulmonary services.
In addition to teaching at the health center in Dallas, I was invited to study
and lecture in several countries. In 1993, I lectured at the International Conference
on Women’s Health in Beijing and several medical schools in China. I received
the American Medal of Honor for Teaching Abroad in 2001 and the International
Peace Prize for lecturing abroad in 2003, and many more recognitions, as well
as being chosen by the mayor of Dallas as one of the top women leaders in their
respective fields. I was listed in the Consumers’ Research Council of
America’s Guide to America’s Top Physicians (2004–05),
Who’s Who in Medicine and Health Care (1990–present), International
Who’s Who of Women (1992), and Women’s Inner Circle of
Achievement (1992). I also have remained very active in supporting the
arts and performing arts, civic leadership, and community volunteer leadership
in developing programs for the needy and camps for chronically ill children.”
