She received her bachelor’s degree in biology, magna cum laude, from the University of Delaware, and her MD from the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Boston Medical Center.

Over the years, she has been committed to student and resident education. She previously worked as an associate clerkship director for Medicine 2 and as an Evans Student Educator.

Her nominators say, “Christine goes above and beyond to ensure the sessions in the Doctoring 2 course are well designed and maximize the potential of the resources available.

“She works to incorporate as much practical and clinical knowledge as possible and truly cares about the experiences that students have in the course so that they become the best physicians they can be in future years.”
