She also served as assistant and associate professor in the Department of Ob/Gyn and Pediatrics at [[Yale University]].

This project, a team effort with professional writer [[Yvonne Yaw]], led to the creation of a “fictionalized documentary called [[Woman Doctor]] being produced in 1976”<ref>Yaw, Yvonne, and Haseltine Florence.
