Worth knowing
- Board certification in internal medicine and geriatric medicine is listed by directories that draw on ABMS data, but an independent certification check was not completed during this research. healthgrades.com
- One directory page (Healthgrades) shows a location in Virginia Beach, VA while also listing Mayo Clinic Rochester and Lake City hospital affiliations. All other sources place her in Rochester, MN, so that listing appears inconsistent. healthgrades.com
- Her ResearchGate page shows conflicting citation counts (a '427 cited by' figure on one page and 87 citations across 17 items on another), so research impact numbers from that site should be read with care. researchgate.net
- No formal guideline-committee appointments, professional society leadership roles, or awards were found in public sources; a targeted society-leadership search was not completed. mayoclinic.org
