Summary

  • I am board certified family medicine physician and a graduate of the Air Force Aerospace Medicine Primary Course. I am interested in improving health care outcomes, especially in urgent and emergent care settings in the Department of Defense and VA.
    I am currently exploring occupational risks that lead to chronic debilitating diseases in aviators and other ground and aircrews that support the aerospace environment.
    I am also in the process of developing palliative care protocols for veterans and active duty members that may reduce the amount of prescription medications needed downrange and at home station.
    Specialties: Medicine, Urgent Care, Rural/Wilderness Emergency Medicine, Aerospace Medicine.
