William Tozier Returns to United States After Service in Iraq
Colonel William Tozier, PhD, PA-C, who served in Iraq from August 2006 to July 2007 with the 3rd Medical Command (MEDCOM), has returned to the United States and assumed the position of program director for the Interservice PA Program (IPAP) in San Antonio. As the senior PA with 3rd MEDCOM, he oversaw the medical clinic operations that provided area support throughout Iraq. One special project he undertook was to educate the PAs and physicians in theater on new clinical practice guidelines for screening and treating mild traumatic brain injury. This tour also allowed him to see IPAP program graduates in action, since military PAs provide the bulk of primary and trauma care in the combat zone. Dr. Tozier can be reached at william.tozier@amedd.army.mil.

Do you have news you'd like to share with other faculty members?

PAEA Networker's Moves and Milestones column is designed to help keep members informed about their colleagues’ activities. The column features information on faculty moves and promotions and on significant changes and achievements at member programs. Examples are faculty moving to new positions within the program or elsewhere, grants received, articles or books published, a new track or satellite campus established. We also welcome curricular innovations that may not have the research basis for peer-reviewed publication but that would be of anecdotal interest to PA faculty.

If you have news you would like to share, please send it to Eileen Evans, PAEA Networker managing editor, at eevans@PAEAonline.org; (703) 548-5538, ext. 307. News must be received by the 20th of the month for inclusion in the following month’s issue.
