We are pleased to present the next in our weekly series introducing you to Internal Medicine’s Advanced Practice Providers. In addition to sharing information about where they work in the department, we asked them each to tell us a little bit about their “Why” (the sustaining pull for their work) and what relaxes them. (Read previous weeks’ installments.)
Erin Cline, MSN, ARNP, FNP
Endocrinology
Services: Neuroendocrine Tumor Clinic, Diabetes Clinic
Years with Internal Medicine: 6 years as an RN with the GRADE study and now 6 months as an ARNP in Endocrinology
Hometown: Grew up in Muscatine, Iowa, but have lived in West Liberty, Iowa, for the last 22 years
My “WHY”: I am inspired to practice medicine because I have a passion for helping people. I love being able to extend compassion when they feel like there may not be any. I want to listen to my patients and develop their trust. I’m eager to become a team member on their medical journey. When we work together, better outcomes are possible.
What relaxes me: Baking is my ultimate stress reliever! I also enjoy spending time with my husband, granddaughter, and family. I enjoy being active, watching movies, walking, spending time by the pool, and vacationing to the BEACH!
Erin is an exceptional person. Dedicated and hardworking. A true pleasure to work with. Patients appreciate her thoughtfulness, attentiveness, and vibrant personality. She is a fantastic addition to our team.
