Antibody Mediated Rejection - Lung Transplantation |
Critical Care Medicine- Critical Care Board certification and practice in the medical intensive care unit, transplant intensive care unit and surgical intensive care unit |
Internal Medicine- Boarded in internal medicine |
Interventional Pulmonology- Completed fellowship in interventional pulmonology including 2 week course in Heidelberg Germany |
Lung Transplantation- Lung transplant pulmonologist. Care for all aspects of lung transplant patient: ICU care, donor management, post-lung transplant care in and out of the hospital. |
Organ Donor Management in the ICU- Manage organ donors in the icu prior to procurement. This improves the number of donor numbers so we have increased donor organs for transplant recipients. |
Pulmonary Disease- Pulmonologist involved in clinical, research and teaching at UTHSCSA. |
Pulmonary Hypertension- Medical Director of Pulmonary Hypertension Center: Center has >200 patients I follow regularly. This center is the only one in South Texas and the third biggest center in Texas. |
