Family
nurse practitioner Louise McDevitt, who practices side-by-side with
Dr. Tim Shafer, has a second career which gives her many Frequent
Flyer miles. For the past five years, she's been traveling the U.S.
(and beyond) teaching courses for Fitzgerald Health, based in North
Andover, Massachusetts. Louise instructs other nurse practitioners
on Board Certification Review, Opthalmology, Ear, Nose and Throat,
and Sports Medicine, among other subjects. Her once-a-month assignments
for Fitzgerald Health have taken her to twenty-five states and on
a Caribbean cruise; in June, she'll take her husband and two daughters
along on an Alaskan voyage (she'll work, they'll play!).
