Why I love to teach

Loading...

I’m an intensivist and emergency physician, retired from the University of California San Diego (USCD) where I was the Anesthesiology Multidisciplinary Critical Care Fellowship Program Director. I trained in emergency medicine at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, then served as the Assistant Residency Director and Medical Student Clerkship Director at the University of Oklahoma before completing a fellowship in Anesthesia Critical Care Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. I love teaching resuscitation, ultrasound, and critical thinking.
