Summary
- I am a healthcare consultant, certified physician executive, and former Doximity Fellow – a select group of leaders in medical news curation, storytelling, and content creation. I have extensive experience in clinical care, teaching, research and administration, including senior roles in academic, pharmaceutical, and health insurance organizations. I am an advocate for physician wellness and leadership and for lending a voice to stigmatized and marginalized clinicians, trainees and patients everywhere. I have authored over a dozen books on narrative medicine and more than 500 articles and essays. My essays have appeared in KevinMD, Doctors on Social Media, and MedPage Today, as well as Doximity, where my writing has generated more reads than over 95% of Doximity users.
