I am an academic hospitalist subspecializing in clinical informatics with a unique blend of clinical and technical expertise. My current roles span clinical hospital medicine, software development, operational leadership, global health and education within the realm of artificial intelligence in healthcare. I have nearly 10 years of experience in the hospital setting in both teaching and non-teaching roles and more than 15 years of experience with programming, software development and engineering.
After completing my IM residency at Case Western (MetroHealth), I obtained my MS from the Oregon Health & Science University (Biomedical Informatics) program and my Clinical Informatics certification from ABPM. I have been involved in bridging the gap between informatics and medicine in several operational and research capacities.
As the Director of Medical Informatics, I serve in an operations and consulting leadership role, to support and guide the implementation of informatics including artificial intelligence at Lifespan health facilities while upholding the best practices and principles regarding the ethical and responsible use of data.
I am a stakeholder and champion of patient and provider-centric approach to technology implementation, especially newer technologies in healthcare. In this regard I have spoken locally at and internationally including at Brown University residency programs, Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown School of Public Health, BRAC University in Bangladesh, and International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICCDR,B).
I have been able to study in diverse settings in India, Canada, Ireland, Bangladesh, and the Unites States where I gained a passion in pursuit of global health equity, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Looking ahead, my research agenda centers around forging sustainable pathways towards equitable healthcare delivery leveraging emerging technologies and digital health innovations.
