Associate Professor

Contact

My research activities have centered around issues of graduate medical education. As the previous Program Director for the University of Minnesota's Training Program, I have focused my efforts into studying several areas including:

• Developing professional behavior among residents
• Determining the best methods for patient hand-offs
• New and innovative methods in 360 degree evaluations
• Developing a Physician/Scientist track
• Defining the educational value of Hospitalists

I served as Acting Chief of Medicine at the Minneapolis VAMC until September of 2009, when I resumed duties as Pulmonary consult and MICU attending.
