In these roles, I lead, oversee, and develop a wide variety of programs that engage and support our medical trainees and faculty throughout their careers at MSK, in close collaboration with many institutional partners. Throughout my career as an infectious disease specialist and a medical education leader, I have lectured and published on a variety of topics in both infectious diseases and medical education. I have also mentored many students, trainees, and faculty.
