Jina has been a medicine PA at New York Presbyterian Hospital- Weill Cornell for about 12 years. She first started using ultrasound about 7 years ago when she was learning to do bedside procedures. Soon after, she realized how helpful POCUS is to evaluate and manage her patients on the floor, and she decided to broaden her POCUS skills and become certified through SHM (Society of Hospital Medicine). She scanned every patient of hers and her colleagues and was always seen in the hospital with ultrasound attached to her hip! She is now the director of procedure service and a POCUS faculty at NYP-Weill Cornell, where she teaches POCUS for POCUS fellows, medicine residents and also organizes/teaches POCUS courses. Not only does she teach POCUS at national conferences like AAPA conference, she has also taught critical access courses to rural providers in Missouri and she taught POCUS internationally in Korea, Poland and Ukraine.

Jina originally lived in Portland, Oregon, moved to New York for PA school, fell in love with New York, and has never left for the past 14 years.

She spends any spare time she has traveling around the world, and loves the outdoors and hiking.
