Biography
I am an obstetric-trained clinical anesthesiologist at Yale New Haven Hospital, Assistant Professor with Yale School of Medicine, and Director of OB Anesthesia Resident Education. My career focus is medical education. At my previous institution, I was involved with resident teaching through simulation training sessions and also served as an academic house clinical advisor providing mentorship, support, and guidance to anesthesia residents.
My journey as an educator began in 2001 at UC Berkeley where I taught ethics and political philosophy to incoming freshmen. Through this experience, I began to understand how psychosocial cues — including the implicit and explicit messages that educators convey — can have a profound impact on student performance.
Currently, I am investigating the utility of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in anesthesiology resident training and whether or not they aid in developing improved clinical acumen.
My other clinical interests include developing a protocol to decrease the incidence of maternal birth-related trauma and validating tools to identify women most at risk for postpartum depression.
