Physician, professor, author, and speaker on purpose, leadership, and finding meaning in medicine.
I'm a pediatric critical care physician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. My academic work focuses on medical education and leadership development among physicians in training. Click here to view my faculty profile!
Outside the hospital and classroom, I speak to audiences ranging from high school students to medical grand rounds, and I write about medicine, race, purpose, and what it means to build a life in this profession.
