In addition to his continued role as one of PCCW's eight full-time clinical professors, Dr.
Dr. Souza was a key contributor to the development and implementation of PCCW clinic's "Mentor Model" approach to patient care and intern education. According to PCCW dean of college clinics Dr. Kevin McCarthy, Dr. Souza's involvement in that program was instrumental to his being appointed chair: "Dr. Souza was chairman of the committee which initially explored the feasibility of adopting a mentorship program in our clinic. He has been involved in every phase of the Mentor Model's development from day one. The creation of this position is the result of our expanded patient base and clinic faculty, and Dr. Souza's efforts have contributed significantly to a clinical program which I feel now ranks among the best in chiropractic education today."
Dr. Souza is currently enrolled as both a lecturer and a student enrolled in the Diplomate of American Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP) program sponsored by Western States Chiropractic College. He maintains a private practice in San Mateo. Of his new post he said, "This is an opportunity I've always wanted, to have a little more impact on the educational process in our clinic program."
