I am a Chief Resident and current Categorical Internal Medicine PGY-3 in San Antonio, TX. After residency, I am looking for hospitalist positions on the East Coast where I can continue my work in patient-centered care, medical education, and community-building. During my residency, I practiced in a variety of settings including high and low-resource settings, university and community-based hospitals, managed healthcare systems and high throughput models. I worked alongside administrators to build a residency curriculum including a novel simulation-based training program. During my second year of residency, I also worked as a writer for Doximity and was awarded for generating the top 10% of most publications and press mentions during my fellowship year.
