Teaching Statement

It is a true privilege to be an educator to medical students and residents. It is necessary throughout our formal years of education to gather knowledge from numerous texts. Although these books are instructive, the experiences that shape our medical practice and the care we give our patients come from our teachers. These mentors drive us to use our minds to the fullest, to listen to our patients wholeheartedly, to create solutions to unique problems, and to be leaders. I look forward to this lifelong responsibility.

When I started practicing several years ago, I transformed from pupil to teacher. I realized the importance of improving my own skills for the education of my residents. This past year was highly rewarding. I am excited for the continued opportunity to lecture, operate, and publish with the next generation of students and residents.
