Summary

  • I am a board certified physician by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA), with added qualifications in neurocritical care (United Council of Neurological Specialties – UCNS), and the National Board of Echocardiography (Advanced Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography and Comprehensive Echocardiography as well as Critical Care Echocardiography). I hold the Fellowship in the American College of Critical Care Medicine (FCCM) and the Fellowship in the American Society of Echocardiography (FASE). I represent the SCCM at the Critical Care Echocardiography, National Board Exam – writing committee and at the American Society of Echocardiography Workgroup.
    My academic contributions include over 70 peer-reviewed publications in critical care medicine and ultrasonography; an edited book in Critical Care Ultrasonography; a dozen non-peer reviewed publications and a dozen book chapters. My initial investigations on critical care ultrasonography's education highlighted the interdisciplinary and multi-professional application of this tool in critical care practice. I propose alternative techniques in advanced critical care ultrasonography for specific patient populations such as pulmonary hypertension and mechanical circulatory support. Lastly, I has shown an increased safety by applying real-time ultrasonography for bedside procedures.
