Summary

I enjoy developing novel technology-based solutions for complex operational and research challenges within surgical and inpatient care.

I lead Vanderbilt's Physician Builder program and a Medical Director of Perioperative Informatics. At the Anesthesia Quality Institute, I am Vice Chair for the Registry Operations and Data Definitions Committees, and am on the Board of Directors for the Society for Technology in Anesthesia. I also serve on Epic’s Anesthesiology Specialty Steering Board, and am Associate Medical Director for the Vanderbilt Anesthesiology and Perioperative Informatics Research (VAPIR) Division and Vanderbilt's Preoperative Evaluation Center.
