Personal Statement

After practicing as an internist for 9 years, I pursued training in Palliative Medicine in 2002-2003, and have worked in the field of Palliative Medicine since that time. I feel privileged to work with patients and families facing serious or life threatening illness, and work to alleviate the many causes of suffering- physical, emotional, social and spiritual- along with our outstanding interdisciplinary team of professionals. In addition to providing clinical care, I am an educator, with focus on communication skills, cultural awareness and sensitivity in medical practice, wellness and sustainability, and spiritual issues at end of life.
