Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director
University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences
Academic Emergency Medicine is my passion. I am involved in teaching, training, mentoring, and guiding residents and medical students in this arena. My dual appointment in the department of emergency medicine and medical education has given me the opportunity to apply my skills to teach our learners at the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences (UTCOMLS). Similarly, my clinical experience working in large hospital systems with complicated operations involving service and education have diversified my ability to adapt to the needs of graduate medical education for our learners. I have incorporated simulation into the curriculum of our residents and students. I have served as an assistant professor, associate professor, chair of several education related committees including the UTCOMLS Admissions Committee and served as President of our Alumni Affiliate at UTCOMLS. I am proud to be a part of promoting and helping to create the emergency medicine required rotation for all medical students at UTCOMLS. Finally, I was able to bring bedside ultrasound education into the curriculum at UTCOMLS.
