She became an instructor in Advanced Burn Life Support. She continued to do nerve research and participated in clinical research projects. Her committee work included functioning as Chairperson of the Institutional Review Board.

In July, 2004, she moved to the Twin Cities to take a job in the Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery at Regions Hospital. She is adjunct faculty at the University of Minnesota and participates in the education of residents and medical students. She has continued her focus on treatment of acute and chronic problems of the hand and forearm in adults and children.
