Patient Care Bio
First and most importantly, I wish to care for critically ill children. I also hope to be active in the education of residents at URMC and the registered nurse and respiratory therapist staff.
With time, I would like to take a more active role in an administrative capacity in the PICU. I hope to improve the quality of care delivered in the PICU through education and following core measures.
