After 3 years wandering around the country as a locum tenens physician and collecting a dozen state licenses along the way, I was feeling rather masochistic once more. So I applied for subspecialty training, completing my Fellowship in Geriatrics at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in 1998. I joined the faculty as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and was appointed Director of the Ambulatory Geriatric Center in Greenville, NC. In 2003, I was recruited by Cenegenics Medical Institute to build it into the ubiquitous presence it is today in your airline inflight magazines. After 7 years as an employed physician, I left to return to my family medicine & geriatric roots by developing a small private practice which this website represents.
From July 2012 to July 2016, I served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Nevada, School of Medicine, where I had started as a Clinical Assistant Professor in 2004. In October 2016, I started a solo private practice and continue to care for the frail & vulnerable elderly by making house calls and working closely w/home health agencies & hospice.
Along the way, I have written many articles, given many presentations, and made myself available to both patients and colleagues. I plan to continue more of the same. For more information, go to http://www.alvinblin.com/ and http://www.linkedin.com/in/alvinblin.
