Additional Information

While working at Beckley Appalachian Hospital as my primary job, I had secondary jobs as well. I worked with American Quality Imaging, which I included under work experience. I also would like to mention that I had a few short term secondary jobs at private physician offices. You will see there is a lap over in the time of service at Beckley Appalachian Hospital and Beckley Cardiology. I initially worked one day a week at Beckley Cardiology while my primary job was with BARH. Once I resigned from BARH, I have been a full time employee for Beckley Cardiology only.
