Summary
- I'm a recently board-certified General Surgeon. I completed my residency in General Surgery at the University of California, Irvine, where I had the privilege of serving as the Academic Chief, teaching and mentoring co-residents and medical students. During my residency, I was actively involved in academic research, with over a dozen publications and presentations at national and regional meetings. Currently, I'm pursuing a fellowship in Surgical Critical Care at the University of California, San Diego, further enhancing my expertise in managing critically ill patients. My passion for surgery and dedication to education and research drive my commitment to advancing the field and providing exceptional patient care.
