Associate Professor
University of Maryland Medical Center
I am a faculty member of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I practice critical care at the innovative Critical Care Resuscitation Unit (CCRU), which specializes in expeditious transfer of critically ill patients. After arriving at the CCRU, the patients will receive timely resuscitation or interventions prior to moving to another intensive care unit within our medical center. At the CCRU, our practice is multi-specialty. I collaborate with different specialty physicians, as soon as a request transfer is made, to provide the optimal plan of care for our patients before they are transferred, while they are transferred and as soon as they arrive at the CCRU. To achieve that results, I work closely with physicians from referring hospitals, critical care transport teams, and intensivists from within our academic medical center to ensure the continuity of care for our patients.
I have been actively involved with SCCM in different capacities with a goal of developing multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary collaborations for research projects that will benefit our patients.
