Biographical Info

My training was in a dual Internal Medicine/Psychiatry residency program. My clinical interests are in the care of patients with both medical and mental health problems. I am interested in building health care delivery systems to integrate primary care and mental health services. I believe that students and residents in either discipline should be well trained in the medical and behavioral aspects of illness enabling them to have a holistic approach to patient care.
