My current clinical research interests include critical care medicine with a focus on the cardiac surgery patient population. However, as Medical Director of the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Emergency Response Team, I am also interested in the systems analyses of in-hospital resuscitation teams which are being described and investigated using an IRB approved research database. Additionally, as Clerkship Co-Director of the NUFSM ICU M4 Clerkship, I have begun work on investigating the use of patient simulation in undergraduate medical education as an educational adjunct.
