The University of Rochester environment where the biopsychosocial model was first developed has allowed me to collaborate with a variety of health care providers where a multidiscipline teaching environment is strongly supported. In various committees I have assisted in the development of educational programs for patients and health care providers. These programs have been presented locally and regionally. As a School of Nursing faculty member I have taught undergraduate and graduate nurses, pain and palliative assessment and management strategies for the past 12 years. In my clinical environment I mentor nursing students, resident and pain fellow physician colleagues.
