Tim's initial practice experience was in a small town in northwestern Pennsylvania - in a setting so rural that they even had a hitching post behind their office for patients to tie their horses! That rural setting provided an opportunity to practice the full spectrum of Family Medicine, from delivering babies (some at home!) to fracture management, as well as making house calls, performing office surgery and visiting nursing homes.
Tim brings all of those experiences and skills to the residency program; many of his precepting sessions and mini-lectures begin with the words "Well, when I was back in private practice." Lest it be said that he is just an "old-fashioned country doctor", however, he also has a keen interest in evidence-based medicine, and coordinates the residency's Journal Club to teach and explore EBM principles and practices in detail. Tim has also been very active in designing computer programs for teaching and for automating various residency functions.
A '79 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Tim is a die-hard Fighting Irish fan (is there any other kind???); experienced residents know to tread lightly around him on Fall Mondays if the Irish have had a bad Saturday on the gridiron. Tim also puts the "family" in Family Medicine; he and his wife Susie are the proud parents of seven (count 'em, seven!) children. He is an active leader in the Boy Scouts, president of the Loyalsock Summer Swim Team parents' board, and a lector, cantor, and choir member at St. Ann Church.
Tim has been very involved in organized medicine, having served for years on the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians board of directors and as chair of the Residents and Student Affairs Committee. He is a past president of the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians (PAFP).
