Overview

I am a passionate academic clinician educator who specializes in the care of critically ill children. My career foci revolve around education of trainees at all levels, excellent care of critically ill children and the enhancement and improvement of patient safety in the ICU. I currently serve as the Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program Director. As a former US Peace Corps Volunteer, I have a long term interest in global health, specifically in the area of pediatric critical care capacity development and education and training to improve acute recognition and early intervention skills for the care of severely ill hospitalized children in resource limited settings.
