About

He initially worked as a counselor, eventually deciding to pursue a career in nursing after working in a children’s residential treatment center. He has worked in nursing with a variety of individuals and families since graduating from Salisbury University in 2002. He started his career as a nurse practitioner at the Philadelphia Prison System in 2007 after graduating with a 4.0 GPA from the University of Maryland. For eight years, he worked at Rutgers University Behavioral Health, where he developed an interest in working with persons who have co-occurring addiction and mental health needs; while there, he received an award for his clinical work. Uros has taught at Rutgers University, mentored nurse practitioner students, and has been on faculty at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine.

Why Healthcare
Psychiatric disorders are often invisible to those around the person who suffers from them, yet the impact on the afflicted person can be tremendous. I believe that lessening the impact of psychiatric illness on the lives of patients and their loved ones is important work. Providing care for those who are seeking treatment is a privilege.
