 As a teenager, Shannon’s exposure to orthopaedics and sports medicine began as a patient rather than a provider. During her high-school sports career, she sustained a season ending knee injury which required her to have reconstructive knee surgery. What began as a nine month recovery from surgery over twenty years ago, has been transformed into what she describes as a “wonderful career path” which now allows her to help patients going through similar life experiences which she once did as an injured athlete. Her early collegiate years were spent as a student leadership scholar at Wilmington College of Ohio where she was an athletic training/sports medicine major and a biology major. This formal sports medicine education allowed Shannon to be exposed to a wide variety of sports related injuries and their treatment. After graduating cum laude from Wilmington College in 1991, Shannon’s education was continued in New York City where she obtained her graduate education in Physician Assistant studies from Cornell University Medical College. She chose to attend this physician assistant (PA) program because of the surgical focus which it emphasized. At Cornell, Shannon was able to study under physicians and surgeons from some of the most world-renowned hospitals such as The Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital and The New York – Presbyterian Hospital. During her PA education, she was active in PA affairs as the Cornell University class secretary, a representative for the New York state society of physician assistant association (NYSSPA) and was also a NYSSPA scholarship recipient. Upon graduating from Cornell University with honors, Shannon knew all along that she would return home to the Cincinnati area to practice as a surgical physician assistant. Since her return to Cincinnati, she has had the opportunity to work in both an academic university sports medicine setting and in a private sports medicine practice. She has held professional memberships and involvement with the American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants, the Physician Assistants of Orthopaedic Surgery, the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants and the American Association of Physician Assistants. Shannon returned to Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine working with Dr. Robert Burger in 2006. |
