A pediatric emergency medicine specialist with a medical education focus, I hope to improve the care of sick and injured children by preparing pediatricians and emergency physicians to provide excellent pediatric emergency care.
I have teaching and leadership experience across the medical education spectrum, from preclinical UME through GME, faculty development and continuing professional development, and am currently program director of the BrownEM Medical Education Fellowship in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University (brownmeded.org).
