Summary

  • I am a board certified internist with a passion for medical education and health journalism. After graduating from medical school, I nurtured these interests through roles as chief resident, clinician educator, and assistant dean of student affairs at a large medical school. I became trained in public radio production through the Transom Traveling Workshop in 2015, and I have produced public radio stories on health and medicine for WHYY’s The Pulse and written about health for The Washington Post. I currently practice primary care and serve as senior editor and host of the continuing medical education podcast, Primary Care Reviews and Perspectives.
