Summary
- I am Professor and Chair of the Department of Surgery at Loma Linda University. For over 20 years, I have specialized in caring for patients with malignant and benign conditions of the breast. After attending Harvard College and Washington University School of Medicine, I trained in general surgery at Oregon Health and Sciences University. I completed an Executive MBA for Physicians at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. I have a dual appointment as Professor of Surgery at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine. I hold leadership roles in the Southern California Chapter of the American College of Surgeons and the Pacific Coast Surgical Association and serve as Governor in the American College of Surgeons and Vice Chair of the Quality Integration Committee of the Commission on Cancer. I am a member of the Health Disparities Advisory Group and the Legislative Committee of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. My research interests include disparities and quality measures in breast cancer care, and I enjoy mentoring trainees in clinical research.
