About

Clinically grounded, implementation focused

I am an internal medicine physician and cardiovascular researcher focused on practical ways to improve prevention, research participation, and equitable care delivery.

My scholarship uses mixed methods, digital tools, resident education, and quality-improvement frameworks. This has included work on hypertension screening and clinical-trial inclusion through the American Heart Association TIDE-IM study, cardiovascular case-based scholarship, and a burst-learning electrocardiogram curriculum for internal medicine residents.
