Teaching and Scholarly Interests

Dr. Uzzle is a Board Certified Family Medicine Physician who began her career in 2000 at Oakhurst Medical Centers, Inc. (currently known as MedCura Health) upon graduating from residency. Oakhurst Medical Centers, Inc. was established in 1980 and provides quality, affordable, comprehensive and culturally competent health care to the underserved, uninsured, diverse and marginalized populations. After serving 15 months as the first Clinical Director for Oakhurst’s first satellite center, she was appointed Chief Medical Officer. During her 24-year servant leadership tenure, Dr. Uzzle, alongside the clinical staff of physicians, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, physician assistants, dentists, dental hygienists, medical assistants, social workers and the administrative team, not only strategically navigated the organization’s expansion from one clinical site to thirteen clinical sites (as of 2024), but also successfully achieved eight consecutive Joint Commission Accreditations.

Given her over two decades of experience in the community health setting, Dr. Uzzle’s priority focus aligns with the physician assistant studies program's mission, vision and values. Her teaching interests include education in the multifaceted (clinical, business, leadership) aspects of community health provision of care. The dynamic and transformational faculty will assure each student a unique and exceptional educational experience.
