Research Interests
My educational focus extends into my research as well, specifically interest in how pre-clinical exposure to various specialties effects learner perceptions about various specialties and ultimately career choices. I also study letters of recommendation for OBGYN residency and MFM fellowship.
My clinical research focuses in the areas of infectious diseases and effects of fetal chromosome abnormalities on pregnancy. I have authored over 40 publications. I enjoy teaching medical students and residents about clinical research and helping these learners understand the basics of medical research from clinical question to final publication.
