Welcome to New Faculty Members We would like to welcome several new volunteer faculty members to our department: Janet Lubas, MD, Internal Medicine Drew Miller, MD, Dermatology Jeremy Mahlow, MD, Cardiology Jessica Ivey, MD, Internal Medicine Drs. Miller, Mahlow, and Ivey are well-known to us because of their previous training here at UTMCK. Dr. Ivey was an internal medicine resident here from 1998 to 2001. Dr. Miller was a transitional year resident from 2006 to 2007, and Dr. Mahlow was a cardiovascular disease fellow from July 2009 to June 2012. Dr. Lubas will be the preceptor for a new rotation in Jefferson City for our interns. The interns will gain experience in an ambulatory setting under her guidance.
