4Additional Information
As a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and Clinical Professor with over two decades of experience at a high-volume Level 1 Trauma Center, I bring deep expertise in the evaluation of complex, high-acuity clinical cases and the standards of emergency care. I have held multiple senior leadership roles—including Vice Chief and former Medical Director and QI Director—where I led initiatives in quality assurance, patient safety, and clinical risk management, and chaired multidisciplinary review processes. My background combines frontline clinical excellence with advanced training in public health and business (MPH, MBA), allowing me to analyze cases through both systems-based and operational lenses. I have extensive experience in peer review, adverse event analysis, and medico-legal risk mitigation, and am frequently invited to present on patient safety and risk reduction strategies at national forums. This combination of clinical authority, leadership in quality governance, and scholarly work positions me to provide clear, objective, and defensible medical-legal opinions for case reviews.
