Born and raised in the Denver area, Dr. Glaser completed her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at Kansas City University. Afterward, she completed her residency at Providence Hospital in Michigan. She came to work with RVU when it opened in 2008, while practicing family medicine and OMT at Centura Health. She recently graduated with a Master of Public Health degree from A.T. Still University (ATSU) and was accepted as a Fellow of the National Academy of Osteopathic Medical Educators.
When asked what made her excited to return to RVU, Dr. Glaser said, "RVU has always been very innovative and has a way of inspiring students to explore their passions and…do great things in medicine." She also recognized the role that mentors have played in her life and how they have inspired her in her career. "My mentors…were teachers and—while I’m very proud to be an osteopathic family physician with unique skills in taking care of patients—working in medical education and helping teach the next generation of physicians has been the most inspiring and rewarding for me."
Dr. Glaser brings a wealth of experience to RVU, including serving as the Course Director of several clerkships at ATSU, Vice President of the Colorado Society of Osteopathic Medicine, President of the Denver Regional Osteopathic Medical Association, and past President and executive board member of DOCARE International. She was also the principal investigator on a grant from the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine to study the impact of an online clerkship curriculum on national exams.
Having visited 35 countries, it’s safe to say that travel is one of Dr. Glaser’s favorite things to do. She also enjoys camping, hiking, biking, and spending time with others. An interesting fact about Dr. Glaser is that she was the first in her family to earn a college degree! "I love learning and find something new to learn every day."
