As a past Physician surveyor for American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation team, she assisted in evaluating radiation oncology clinics seeking accreditation, in adherence to excellent cancer care standards. An assignment at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) gave her the opportunity to travel the world teaching first responders on the important topic of response to radiation incident/accident, as an adjunct to chemical and biological emergencies.
