Professional Statement

As an academic primary care physician, I enjoy collaborating with trainees to deliver evidence-based and patient-centered care. I’m especially passionate about mentorship, advocacy and fostering a culture of belonging – where students feel seen, residents feel heard, and patients feel respected. I greatly enjoy the opportunity to develop, deliver and evaluate many educational activities within primary care medical education for students and residents. I aspire to prepare learners for an evolving healthcare environment that prioritizes high value and whole-person oriented care.
