Prior to joining MSKCC, Mr. Begue was the Director of Advanced Practice at The James Cancer Hospital and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Mr. Begue recently was named as a Jonas Nurse Leader Scholar and was invited to participate in the inaugural American Association of Nurse Practitioners Future Leaders Program. He also currently serves on advisory committees to both NCCN and SullivanCotter, exploring mechanisms for benchmarking APP productivity and quality outcomes.
