Summary
- I am a pulmonologist and critical care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a Teaching Associate at the HMS Department of Health Care Policy. I perform health services and large database research using econometric methods, focusing on the use of natural experiments to study physician behavior, resource utilization, and health care policy, with special interest in the intensive care unit. Through my work, I hope to find opportunities to create higher value and more equitable health care for everyone. I'm originally from Washington, D.C., and I obtained my B.S. in Statistics from the University of Michigan, M.D. from Dartmouth Medical School, and completed my clinical training as an internal medicine resident at Boston University Medical Center, a Chief Resident in Quality and Safety at BUMC and VA Boston, and my clinical pulmonary and critical care medicine fellowship at MGH and BIDMC. I hold board certifications from the American Board of Internal Medicine in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, and Critical Care Medicine.
My book co-authored with Anupam Jena "RANDOM ACTS OF MEDICINE: The Hidden Forces That Sway Doctors, Impact Patients, and Shape Our Health" is available now wherever books are sold!
