Claire Lokitis, MS PA-C Physician Assistant

Claire Lokitis received a bachelor’s degree as a Physician Assistant (PA) from Touro College, in New York, in 1995. Since graduation, she has worked in New York hospital and private-based General Pediatrics and Family Practice, Neonatology and Pediatric Cardiology Intensive Care Units and Interventional Radiology in large teaching institutions. After moving to south Florida in 2006, she advanced her clinical experience in Interventional Radiology in a university setting and entered Telemedicine in a private setting.

Claire has mentored Physician Assistant and Nurse Practitioner students as a Clinical Site preceptor. She joined the faculty of Stony Brook University PA Program in New York, first as an adjunct faculty member, and later as a full-time Clinical Assistant Professor, where her responsibilities included teaching in the didactic and clinical years, and serving on several academic committees.  Her presentations include lectures at the Stony Brook University National PA Board Reviews and an online lecture for the Arizona School of Health Sciences Web-based master’s program for PA’s in Emergency Medicine, the Alma Mater from which she earned her master’s degree in Physician Assistant Education and Leadership in 2004.

Claire’s unceasing interest in continuing education and providing effective and efficient health care was piqued upon learning of Dr. Patrick Barry’s non-surgical approach to ending knee pain.
