“Welcome to my page! This website was first developed during a successful national election for the Council on Medical Education during which I had a chance to interview with various voting delegate groups of the American Medical Association House of Delegates (HOD). The HOD represents every specialty society, state society, branch of the military and special sections (Academic Physicians, Advisory Committee on LGBTQ Issues, Integrated Physician Practices, International Medical Graduates, Medical Students, Minority Affairs, Organized Medical Staff, Private Practice Physicians, Residents & Fellows, Senior Physicians, Women Physicians and Young Physicians). It gives a glimpse into my principles and priorities. Please don’t forget to click on the trigram in the top left corner for more detailed information. Feel free to reach out!”
