Summary
- I am a Board Certified Thoracic Surgeon, currently the chief of division in the largest hospital in New Jersey. Previously I worked at MSKCC for 11 years.
In my current position, I have used what I learned in my MPH program to significantly increase the value of the care we provide, by both improving quality while also lowering costs by over 40%.
I am seeking a position in a hospital where I can duplicate these results on a bigger scale and with a greater national profile.
