Summary

  • I am a physician educator and physician leader. I am passionate about transforming the Health Information Technology (IT) industry. I am a board-certified Internist, Hospitalist and received an MBA and Certificate of Health Sector Management (CHSM) from the prestigious Duke's Fuqua School of Business. I am an executive council member, chapter leader, and mentor in the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM). Recognizing my leadership activities and contribution to Hospital medicine, the American College of Physicians (ACP) listed me in US Top 10 Hospitalists in 2016. My expertise is in Health IT, Medical Education, and Utilization Management. I am a national speaker and actively write on topics related to Utilization Management, Electronic Health Records, Medical education, hospital medicine, and issues related to technology in healthcare. I have been vocal about the slow progress and adoption of technology in healthcare and want to promote global healthcare redesign using technology. I invested in over 25 startups as an angel investor and through online platforms. As a co-founder of Mission Growth Investments, a physician group investing in healthcare startups, I collaborated with several founders to navigate complex and highly regulated healthcare systems. I held multiple leadership positions, including medical director of Utilization Management, lead physician advisor and Chief Hospitalist role, and other leadership roles in academic medical centers. My strengths include health systems’ strategic planning and strategy implementation, organizational growth, business development, population health management, hospital operations, patient and workforce engagement, project management, and operational excellence.
