Professional Summary:

As a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University at Buffalo and an attending physician at the Buffalo VA Medical Center, my clinical responsibilities include caring for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, managing hospitalized patients with pulmonary disease, and diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in the outpatient setting.

In addition to my clinical work, I am deeply committed to medical education. I serve as the Clerkship Director for Advanced Medicine, Director of the Art of Medicine curriculum, and Associate Program Director for Wellness and Advocacy in the Internal Medicine Residency Program. I teach and mentor medical trainees across all levels—from the beginning of medical school through residency and fellowship—in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My educational approach emphasizes humanism, creativity, and interprofessional collaboration. I incorporate gamification techniques such as medically themed escape rooms and high-fidelity simulation into clinical teaching to foster active learning, teamwork, and critical thinking.

As Director of the Art of Medicine course, I help trainees explore the foundational values that shape healing relationships. The curriculum is centered on self-empowerment, patient empowerment, and community empowerment, supporting learners in developing emotional awareness, ethical insight, and a sense of agency in addressing broader societal issues. The course uses narrative reflection, the humanities, and experiential learning to nurture compassionate and socially responsive physicians.

In my role as Associate Program Director, I lead wellness and advocacy initiatives for internal medicine residents. These include workshops, creative expression sessions, peer support activities, and simulation-based training that promote emotional resilience, professional identity formation, and a culture of well-being.

My research interests span clinical medicine, education, and well-being. I am currently involved in multiple IRB-approved studies, many as Principal Investigator, focusing on topics including mindfulness in medicine, strategies to bridge interprofessional gaps, the impact of passive smoke exposure on respiratory health, asthma in the elderly, and the use of gamified learning to enhance knowledge retention and reduce burnout. I have also explored innovative appreciative assessment methods to improve resilience among faculty and trainees.

Through my work in clinical care, teaching, and scholarship, I aim to cultivate a new generation of physicians who are not only clinically skilled but also compassionate, reflective, and empowered to lead change within the healthcare system and beyond.

  • Chair and Founding Member of Internal Medicine Residency Health Equity Committee; I have successfully organized four Academic Half Days and 5 workshops on Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The goal of these sessions is to encourage faculty, residents and students to become Health Care Allies. Participants practiced skills in perspective-taking and methods of communicating and confronting others about diversity and inclusion issues, micro-messaging, implicit bias etc.. They had an opportunity to engage in meaningful discourse with community members as caregivers and individuals seeking care. They also learned about various challenges and issues experienced by underrepresented and marginalized individuals. Appreciative Inquiry was introduced as a tool for change. Transgender Care was addressed in one of the workshops. From the committee composed of faculty and residents, a resident was seleted to serve as a Health Equity Champion. She has been helpful in assisting me to create opportunities for residents to be involved in advocacy projects, participate in Lighthouse clinic, UB Heals and Community Outreach initiatives.We were able to procure sleeping bags for the homeless in Buffalo that we distributed in May 2022. https://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/ub-seen/photos/2022/05/UB-heals-residents.html (2021–present)
