Summary

  • My clinical interests include adolescent and young adult health and transitions of care, sexual health, LGBTQ+ health, and Infectious Diseases in both children and adults. My teaching interests include improving provider-patient communication, gamification of learning (especially of Infectious Diseases), and creating curriculum for non-ID trained physicians especially in the areas of antimicrobial stewardship, HIV, Hep C and STDs. My research interests involve quality improvement of GME and UME training experience in relation to Infectious Diseases and patient-provider communications.
