Professional Interests
Emergency Medicine
Board Certified, in-practice for 22 years. And each day, there's so much to learn.
Public Health
Health care decisions affecting the population should include physicians, not just politicians.
Medical Ethics
Physicians often serve as the guide for the toughest decisions for their patients and their families.
International Medicine
Physicians in the US are well positioned to make an impact on the lives of patients worldwide.
Access for Uninsured
A fragmented system leaves many working individuals unable to afford health care. Increasing affordable access is often within reach of each community.
Medical Education
Medical education remains key to better health. This is true for new doctors as well as non-physicians. Innovative approaches are key.
