Frank trained under the mentorship and guidance of Dr. Michael Druschel, MD, Dr. Laura Wade, MD, and Bridget Wicks, FNP-C, where he truly immersed himself in rural health and underserved populations. Frank graduated with distinction with his Master of Science in Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner in 2024 and was recognized as an AHEC Scholar for his work with the Cocopah Reservation near the Yuma-Mexico border.
