Please talk about your current professional position. Describe what you do and for which organization.
My current position (since June 2008) is Director of Research & Education, Pain Medicine Fellowship Coordinator, and Administrative Assistant for Mid Atlantic Spine & Pain Physicians in Newark, Delaware . We are a private practice that specializes in interventional pain management for chronic pain. I help to manage the ACGME accredited pain medicine program. We are the training site for Temple University Hospital. I organize and keep track of all the deadlines for book chapters, research projects and other invitations the doctors may receive. I sometimes have the opportunity to participate in the research projects myself: I have helped to form an IRB, and have helped to write published guidelines on cervical facet joints for the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. My other role for the practice is to serve as an assistant to the doctors, schedule meetings and perform administrative duties. I am also interested in patient education and plan to offer library resources for our patients shortly! Read more» » »

Nina Long of The Wistar Institute Library recently discovered a box full of 19th century personal papers and documents from Institute founder, Isaac J. Wistar (1827-1905) in the Wistar vault as some reorganizing was going on. Included in the box were 74 pieces of colonial currency dating from 1758-1777, thirteen printed by Benjamin Franklin. The money is from the colonies of PA, NJ and DE . It was accompanied by a note in Wistar’s handwriting that the currency came to him from Isaac Cooper Jones, his grandfather, who died in 1865. Jones was Mayor of Philadelphia from 1767-1769. In September the collection was appraised by John Kraljevich of JK America, New York at $14,500.
