I am an American Board of Internal Medicine Certified physician. I completed medical school training at Tufts University and subsequently completed my internal medicine residency at NYU. Throughout, I was heavily involved in education (i.e. tutoring at PSAT/SAT at local high school, leading problem-based learning sessions with junior medical students, assisting in the anatomy lab, etc).
After graduating in 2019, I was practiced as a hospitalist at UCLA through the duration of the COVID pandemic. During this time, I performed clinical duties in a wide range of practice settings: as part of the teach-attending service managing groups of medstudents/interns/residents, doing direct care with average patient census from 12-22 patients daily, and I additionally have experience practicing in an LTACH setting caring for patients with chronic trach/peg care needs.
Due to my passion for higher education, I applied and am now currently working as a cardiology fellow at the Northshore/LIJ hospital campuses in Manhasset. My clinical responsibilities average 60h a week.
My teaching style is flexible and can be personalized; I am accustomed to standardized testing and am familiar with the current format of MedEd and competing independent course reviews (i.e. Pathoma). I have a wealth of anecdotal clinical experience, and a firm grasp of general internal medicine and expanding knowledge in the cardiology specialty. I know what programs are looking for in prospective applicants at the medical student, resident, or fellow stages of training and I am adept in mock interview preparation, rank list decisions, etc. Finally, I believe it paramount to reflect on examples of humanism in medicine, as these "soft skills" are no doubt an essential component to communication with patients, a way to further reinforce medical lessons and personal growth, and a buffer against physician burnout.
