Biography

I am a retired general internist. I was in the clnician-educator track at Yale School of Medicine. I graduated from Brandeis University, Tufts University School of Medicine and trained in Primary Care Internal Medicine at New York University/Bellevue Hospital. I did a fellowship in General Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and obtained a Masters in Public Health there.

Prior to retirement, my professional interests included doctor-patient communication, the psychosocial aspects of medical care, meaning in medicine, resident wellness, mindfulness and medical education.
