Biography
My training was in a dual Internal Medicine/Psychiatry residency program. My clinical interests are in providing care to patients with both medical and mental health problems. My academic interests are in integrating primary care and mental health services. Two populations I work with are refugees and people with serious mental illness. I strongly believe that students and residents in any discipline should be well trained in both physical and mental aspects of illness enabling them to have a holistic approach to patient care.
