Biography

I spent nearly a decade at Dartmouth as a student prior to returning as faculty in 2018. I did my residency in Family Medicine at Kaiser Permanente where I gained experience working in an integrated care delivery model which included extensive use of telemedicine; I have since continued to work in this space at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, particularly within Connected Care where I served as medical director for the design of a Virtual Primary Care service. I have also worked as co-investigator on several research grants as COVID-19 has spurred rapid, massive expansion in the use of telemedicine. It is a substantial tool for improving access and the equitability of access to care and I look forward to furthering our understanding of best practices and impacts in this realm.
