Biography

I am a pulmonary/critical care physician and epidemiologist seeking to improve diagnostic evaluation and case finding for tuberculosis (TB) using translational research and implementation science. 

I teach a graduate course on implementation science and mentor master's and doctoral students at the Yale School of Public Health. I lead a Fogarty research training program on TB and other pulmonary complications of HIV/AIDS in Uganda.

I attend in the Medical Intensive Care Unit and the Winchester TB Clinic at Yale-New Haven Hospital as a Yale Medicine physician. I enjoy caring for patients and families, and teaching medical students, residents, and fellows.

Activities

  • Zero TB Mongolia
    Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 2018
    In partnership with the Mongolian Health Initiative and the Mongolia Ministry of Health, the Yale School of Public Health and the Yale Center for Implementation and Prevention Sciences (CMIPS) are carrying out a large public health evaluation of the quality of TB care services in three districts of Mongolia using the Zero TB Indicator Framework. Our adaptation of this comprehensive approach, which will assess all aspects of TB cases finding, treatment, and prevention, is a first for Mongolia, and promises to provide an innovative approach for using routinely collected data to improve the quality of care in pursuit of the objectives of the Global END TB Strategy in Mongolia and beyond.
