  • Area of Specialization: Cardiology
  • Department of Medicine

  • Leadership and mentorship within my circle of influence are critical goals for me as a teacher, researcher and clinician. I hope to bring about positive change in the field of Medicine in general, and Cardiology in particular, by blending professional will and personal humility. As a leader, I strive to be abreast with and make positive contributions to the rapidly evolving trends in cardiovascular Medicine. I do not set out to necessarily break new grounds but to build a team that adapts and applies global best practices to local practice through evidence-based research. Continued improvement of my organizational skills and maintenance of a good interpersonal relationship with my students, colleagues and patients are of utmost importance to me.
