With more than 48 years of clinical expertise, Robin brings a remarkable depth of surgical experience to her teaching. A graduate of Hahnemann University (now Drexel University) and the Yale University/Norwalk Hospital surgical residency program, Robin has built her career in surgery—serving as a first assistant in neurosurgery, orthopedics, cardiac, bariatric, GYN, plastics, general, vascular, and ENT procedures.
She was instrumental in developing the PA concept at three Philadelphia hospitals in the 1980s and later became the first Chief Surgical PA at Medstar Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore, where she established and managed a surgical PA department of 27 providers. Beyond her clinical leadership, Robin has lectured internationally, taught suture workshops for more than 30 years, and consulted widely in the medical and pharmaceutical fields.
For the past 20 years, Robin has brought her expertise to SCAPA, guiding PAs and students alike in mastering the fundamentals of suturing. Her workshops are a conference highlight, combining technical instruction with practical tips drawn from decades of surgical practice.
