Peripheral Vascular Disease Essentials for Advanced Practice Providers-Meet Christy Willocks

Video Transcription

Hello, my name is Christy Willocks. I'm a nurse practitioner that works in Kingsport, Tennessee. I have had the pleasure of working in both cardiology  and vascular disease for the last 20 years. I've been sort of a hybrid. I was brought in as cardiology and the cardiologist that I was assigned to  fell in love with peripheral vascular disease. So through the years we've grown into that together. We now have a much larger practice and not only him, but four or five,  six other vascular surgeons that I have had the pleasure of working with. So my background is a good mix of both worlds. I hope that in this series  that you get to learn a little bit about peripheral artery disease, but also some common sense approaches to how to approach your patient as well. Thank you.
