Professional Highlights:

I am Daniel Regan, PhD, PA-C and I’m currently on staff at WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh, NC in the department of Cardiothoracic Surgery. I participate in complex cardiac surgical procedures daily, provide care for post-op patients in the ICU and step-down units. In addition to the coursework I assist with at Shenandoah’s DMSc Program, I precept PA students and lecture at a local PA program in my area. My former positions were as a PA-C in cardiothoracic surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC and as a PA-C in cardiac surgery at UNC Rex in Raleigh, NC. I started my professional life as an EMT-B and eventually paramedic in the Chicagoland area. I worked in both fire department and hospital-based EMS and am a graduate of the critical care paramedic course.

Research:

I am engaged in research involving synthetically manufactured blood vessels as the surgical arm for a biotech in the research triangle and over the years have been involved with some studies and case reports outside of my dissertation work.
