Mark Thompson, Director
I am originally from Upstate New York but now call Ocala, Florida my home. I started my medical career as an EMT and a Diving Safety Officer and spent 11 years in the Caribbean and South Pacific. I returned to Florida and received a BS in Cardiopulmonary Physiology and worked as a Clinical Hyperbaric Technologist and Respiratory Therapist. One day I hope to specialize in Pediatrics and return to the islands as a doctor and teacher.

Hi, there. I started my medical career at 16 working as a Geriatric Nursing Assistant in a specialized unit for dementia patients. At 18 I was trained to work as a Medical Assistant/ Shift Supervisor for the 75th/126th street medical centres in Ocean City, Md during the busy summer seasons. During the winter off seasons I worked full time as an E.R. technician at the region's only level one trauma centre. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the Univ. of Md, Eastern Shore. After my time here at Ross I hope to become board certified in Emergency Medicine and work somewhere close to a beach!

Angie Foley, Clinical Coordinator
I am a Florida State University graduate with a Bachelors of Arts in Music. My love of music and people merged into Music Therapy, which then progressed to medicine. So while still at FSU I completed my pre-med requirements along with my music degree. My medical experiences include volunteering in many different fields: Adult Care, Rural Family Practice and Ob/GYN. I also was a member of a medical mission trip to Haiti and before coming to Ross Medical School worked as a Medical Assistant in neurology. I plan to work in a rural community in the south possibly in Internal Medicine.
