About

I am a clinical professor in the Department of Medicine working in Infectious Diseases and General Internal Medicine.  I have special interests in clinical education of medical students, residents and fellows.  I also am involved in quality improvement work relating to improving patient care.  To that end I run workshops for trainees and staff on effective structured patient handovers.  

Clinical Interests

Direct patient care.

Teaching

Most of my teaching occurs on the wards, with direct patient care.  I teach to the level of the trainee, and encourage them to be empathetic and thorough in their approach to the unwell patient.  I feel that the most effective clinical training involves direct interactions with patients.
