His leadership role as a Certified Medical Director in Long Term Care makes Dr. Ireton an ideal preceptor at Windsor Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care, a key site for fellow and resident training.
Director of CHRISTUS Spohn Palliative Care
Dr. Hinojosa not only works as program director of the CHRISTUS Health/Texas A&M University School of Medicine – Family Medicine Residency, she is also the director of the hospital system palliative care services. The fellow spends at least one month rotating on this service, learning how to care for chronically ill patients as they make complex choices at the end of life. A key component of this rotation is leading family conferences, guiding them in critical and difficult decision making.
