Personal Interests
I am a Visiting Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Department of Neurology at University of Colorado School of Medicine Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, USA. I previously worked at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At UNM, I was a Pediatric and Adult MDA Clinic Director and EMG Lab Director. In 1992 I received a medical degree from the Medical University of Gdansk in Poland. I went on to complete my Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency at Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee in 2002. In 2016, I completed the Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship at Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, NC. I am board-certified in Neuromuscular Medicine, Electrodiagnostic Medicine (scored in the top 10%), Neuromuscular Ultrasound and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. I have served as a Board Member of the IFCN Society of Neuromuscular Imaging (former ISPNI and ISNMI) since September 2019 and as a Board Member of the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) since November 2023. I received AANEM’s Ernest Johnson Outstanding Educator Award in 2023.
