Summary

• I am a Professor of Emergency Medicine at UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, CA. I have 20+ years of experience in medical education, administration, clinical practice, and medical devices. I am a nationally recognized expert in Emergency Airway and have a growing reputation in health care informatics and EMRs. I am a consultant in emergency airway devices and am interested in consultation on other medical devices, health care informatics, electronic health records, medical software, and mobile apps.
  
  I am the director of Emergency Airway at UCSF Emergency Department, a role that entails purchase of all advanced airway equipment (equipment to manage acute breathing and mouth/throat/lung issues). I train all residents and faculty in and teach nationally in the theory and practice of advanced airway management in the Emergency Department. I have developed cadaver and model based hands on courses for advanced airway procedures and directed courses where 20 physician instructors I have trained instruct 100 physicians in critical procedures. I am also heavily involved in the award winning Simulation training program of the UCSF Emergency Medicine residency.
  
  I see patients at the UCSF ED and do airway informatics research.
  I am the Physician Lead for Health Informatics for Adult Emergency Medicine: the primary interface between coders and providers for our EPIC electronic health record and sit on the University wide UCSF Health Informatics Team. My most recent publication was a clinical informatics paper in the Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open describing how a workflow of EMR order based text pages to consultants, with embedded patient information, decreased time to consultation and overall ED length of stay.
  
  I have been at UCSF since 1999 and have worked concomitantly in community hospitals and trauma centers in the Bay Area. I trained at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY and attended McGill Medical School in Montreal.
