Education is a big part of her career. Dr. Thomas is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. As such, she educates medical students, residents, nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the emergency department. She helped revise and taught a history and physical exam course for the M2 curriculum for the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and lectured on how to approach ROS based on patients’ chief complaints. She also works individually with M2-M3 students who are identified as needing to improve their history and exam skills. She works with the students through direct patient contact and provides immediate feedback.

Dr. Thomas graduated with her medical degree from the University Of Illinois at Chicago in May 1996. She earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology at the U of I in 1991.  She completed her residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, CA. Before returning to her native East-Central Illinois, she worked in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

When she’s not at work, Dr. Thomas enjoys reading, exercise, and being with her family.  Please join us in welcoming Dr. Thomas to CIMRO!
