“Medicine is an ever-evolving field and as providers we must continue to learn, adapt, and survive the constant influx of new developments and research in medicine.  My goal for my students is to practice evidence-based medicine and utilize critical thinking to improve the overall outcomes of patients.  The focus should not only to be on mastering the knowledge of medicine but to embrace the complexity of the art of practicing with compassion and empathy.”

In My Spare Time…

In my spare time I love spending time with my family.  We enjoy the beautiful outdoors, camping, hiking, cheering for our beloved Chicago Cubs and sitting next to a warm fire.  I also enjoy running, birdwatching, crossword puzzles and a hot cup of coffee.
