About the Speaker:

She worked as a primary care physician in a community health center for several years before returning to teaching at the University. Currently, Dr Andrews is an Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut with a three-pronged position: primary care provider, director of ambulatory education for our Internal Medicine Residency Program, and Associate Program Director.
