Warum ich es liebe in der Lehre tätig zu sein

I am the Chief of Critical Care Medicine at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center and I am board-certified in emergency medicine, internal medicine, and critical care medicine. Teaching is a passion of mine, whether it is using a whiteboard, instructing at the bedside, or constructing lectures on tough critical care topics. I am the Medical Director for the Respiratory Care program at the Baltimore City Community College. My clinical interests include respiratory failure and critical care ultrasonography.
