Overview
I'm an intensivist and anesthesiologist with additional expertise in diagnostic point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). I'm interested in using diagnostic POCUS to help improve the care of critically ill patients. My training in diagnostic POCUS includes all of the following: board certification (Diplomate status) in Critical Care Echocardiography, board certification (Diplomate status) in Advanced Perioperative Transesophgeal Echocardiography, and completion of the American College of Chest Physicians/CHEST ICU POCUS Certificate Program. Finally, I am the immediate past Editor-in-Chief and current Editor for the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Editorial Board on POCUS and Section Editor for POCUS for OpenAnesthesia.org. Outside of diagnostic ultrasound, my other board certifications are in the following medical specialties: Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, and Neuro Critical Care.
