Ten years ago, I joined the Cleveland Clinic. I worked five years at the main campus as teaching faculty. I learned as much as I taught, as I got to apply the accumulated volume of experience and knowledge from the previous decades in New York, Rochester (MN), and Des Moines. Five years ago, I took myself and my family to Abu Dhabi, and started a vascular surgery program at CCAD (Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi). Last year, still in the middle of the second year of the pandemic, we returned, and I had the privilege of working at Cleveland Clinic Fairview and Cleveland Clinic Avon on Cleveland’s west side. This spring, I made the decision to join University Hospitals, where I will be starting this August. I crave these new days and am so grateful to have them. Thank you, Cleveland Clinic, for ten amazing years. Hello University Hospitals! I can be reached at docpark(at)golfism.org during this transition.
