Summary

  • I am a residency trained board certified emergency physician practicing for over 20 years. I completed an administrative fellowship and worked full time for a large practice management company as their education director, member of their claims committee, medical director, regional medical director and executive VP managing 30 hospital based contracts at a time. I have expertise in education, lecturing, building and managing teams, LEAN, STUDER, flow and efficiency metrics, budgeting for hospital departments, negotiating with insurance payers and building positive culture in departments of the hospital where many of the employees report up through the hospital rather than through the physician group.
