About
Biography
I’m an attending physician specializing in hospital medicine and complex care. I love partnering with patients and their caregivers to safely and efficiently return them home.
My research interests include quality improvement, patient safety and clinical deterioration. I became interested in this work during my fellowship training and leading our situation awareness team. My work aims to assist in the timely identification of patients at risk of deterioration.
