Margaret Jones, Acting Assistant Professor
How long have you been a member of ASIA?
Since February 2017
Why did you choose the SCI field?
I chose SCI medicine because it offered me the ability to take care of patients from all backgrounds and walks of life, no matter what their mechanism of injury. I chose SCI medicine for the opportunity to empower patients, to constantly work in an interdisciplinary team to meet patients’ goals and for the ongoing challenge as a clinician to understand all the medical complications impacted by spinal cord injury.
Most recent accomplishments:
Acting Assistant Professor, University of Washington
Member, Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury Committee, Harborview Medical Center
Invited lecturer, Chief of Medicine Conference, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Washington
Why did you join ASIA?
I joined ASIA for the opportunity to continue my learning as I transition into my early career in SCI medicine. The ASIA conference and ASIA website offer myriad learning opportunities to deepen my skillset as a clinician and provide direction and mentorship opportunities to help shape my career focus moving forward.
