I have served as an attending physician, associate director, director of medical education, and medical director in multiple hospital systems, and I have five years of experience in utilization management and medical policy editing.

My academic appointments include assistant and associate professor of clinical medicine, and I have extensive experience supervising residents and medical students, delivering lectures, leading small-group teaching, and publishing on clinical and ethical topics.
