Jennifer Vice, PA-C
Richmond,Kentucky
Summary
Experienced Physician Assistant with many years of experience in Emergency Medicine and Neurology. Well-developed skill in patient diagnosis, assessment and examination.
There is a notable gap in my employment as a Physician Assistant starting July 2015. It was at this time that I surrendered my PA license to the KBML. There was a lapse between surrendering my license and obtaining treatment as I was awaiting a KBML-approved treatment facility following DUI, that was within my financial range. In September 2018 I entered and successfully completed treatment in Ohio. My PA-C license was reinstated November 2019 and in January 2021 I began working for University of Kentucky in Neurology. My license is in good standing and I successfully completed a very rigorous 5 year contract with the Kentucky Medical Board. Recommendations from the KBML readily available upon request.
