As vice chair for education and academic affairs at the ������� Grossman School of Medicine and chief of medicine service at the Margaret Cochran Corbin VA Medical Center in Manhattan, I am dedicated to advancing medical education and providing exceptional patient care. My passion lies in fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals while ensuring that my patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care.

I specialize in internal medicine, with a particular focus on chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. With over 30 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My commitment to medical education is reflected in my extensive research on professional behavior in medicine, and I have authored over 100 abstracts and papers on the subject. I am honored to be a member of the Gold Humanism Honor Society and the New York Academy of Medicine, as well as a fellow of the American College of Physicians.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to improving the quality of medical education both locally and internationally. I have served as a consultant and visiting professor at numerous medical schools, conducting workshops and seminars on teaching, learning, and evaluating professionalism. Since joining ������� Langone in 2013, I have led efforts to transform the internal medicine residency program, enhance faculty teaching skills, and promote diversity and inclusion within the department. I also co-lead the U.S. site for a master's program in health professions education, which has trained over 40 faculty members to become highly skilled educators.

My journey into medicine began with a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Harvard University, followed by a medical degree from Vanderbilt Medical School. I completed my internship and residency in internal medicine at Tufts/New England Medical Center and pursued a fellowship in ambulatory care and research at Stanford and the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs Medical Center. I also earned a PhD from Stanford University School of Education in curriculum and teacher education. My dedication to medical education and patient care continues to inspire my work every day.
