Theresa A. Madden, MS, PA-C, is board certified as a Physician Assistant and also holds certifications in Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support as well as Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers. Graduating magna cum laude with a biology major from undergraduate school, Ms. Madden achieved numerous citations, acknowledgements and awards at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey where she attained her Master of Science/Physician Assistant degree. Among these accomplishments were serving as moderator for the New Jersey State Society of Physicians Assistants 6th annual CME Conference and serving as team leader at St. John's Clinic where she assisted medical students with development of physical diagnosis skills. Her first full time position out of under-graduate school was as a pharmaceutical representative promoting cardiovascular medications to health care professionals, among other therapies. During her time in pharmaceutical sales, she found herself yearning for a more fulfilling and challenging career. She was able to meet many Physician Assistants as a pharmaceutical representative and became impressed with the positive impact they have on the healthcare system. Attracted to the high level of care that PAs provide in a variety of clinical settings, Ms. Madden pursued the career. During PA school, although she enjoyed many subspecialties, her passion for cardiology, honed as a part time fitness trainer and exercise/aerobic instructor in preceding years, was apparent and specialization in cardiology became her goal. Placing a premium on teamwork, compassion and dedication to patients, she feels that being a Physician Assistant is a direct route to the aspects of health care she values most.
