Biography
I am is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow (2023-2025) in the Yale National Clinician Scholars Program (formerly RWJF Clinical Scholars Program).
My practice is grounded in the belief that health outcomes are the material manifestation of social inequalities and that health care is a human right. Medicine is therefore a vehicle for pragmatic solidarity in the fight for health equity and social justice.
My research interests include:
1) Interrogating the political economy of pharmaceutical development and the financial toxicity of current pharmaceutical provisioning with the aim of designing new regulatory frameworks that align price, value, and healthcare equity.
2) Investigating avenues through which hospital admissions can be used as opportunities to more systematically screen and refer patients to community-based resources to address unmet social needs.
3) Medical epistemology as viewed through the lens of medical journals - namely, improving the racial/ethnic and gender diversity of authors, peer reviewers, and editors and high-impact factor medical journals.
