Dr. Wideman has spent over ten years in areas including but not limited to Neurology, Gastroenterology, Acute Care, and Internal Medicine.

In December 2021, she earned her terminal degree from D’Youville College with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice, where she researched the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on health promotion and vaccine hesitancy within African American Communities.
