Emergency Physician -
I am board certified in Emergency Medicine. I have devoted significant time and effort to my primary training in the care of emergent and life threatening conditions. I am qualified to treat emergent and urgent conditions as well as non-emergent conditions in both adult and pediatric populations.
Administrative Development and clinical operations are my areas of interest. I am currently in the process of continuing my education with regards to administrative development and leadership development as it pertains to emergency department clinical operations and management. I hope that through my education and persistent work in this area to increase our department efficiency and improve not only access to patient care but also improve patient and provider satisfaction within our emergency department. I am also highly interested in research pertaining to QI studies on ED efficiency and process improvement. |
