I am a board certified general internist and currently a primary care physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. I have been practicing at BIDMC for almost 9 years. As detailed below, I have a passion for academic medicine including teaching and clinical work. My outpatient clinical practice includes an interest in addiction medicine, with a main role in our OBAT clinic providing team-based care to patients with substance use disorders. I also am co-chair of our practice’s Chronic Pain and Addiction Committee which oversees our patients on chronic opioids and offers support, education, and guidance to providers in this regard; over the years this committee has developed guidance around medical marijuana as well. I have a teaching role in our practice. Since starting my position, I have been a preceptor in the weekly resident continuity clinic. I also am one of the teachers in the resident ambulatory curriculum, specifically on topics in behavioral health (e.g. mental health and substance use). A major outside role of mine has been to serve as the medical director and supervising physician for the student Health Services clinic at Emmanuel College, a private catholic university in Boston. I work closely with the nurse practitioners who see students in the clinic. I am involved in the clinical care of students as well as public health and administrative responsibilities to the college. Lastly a newer role of mine since Spring 2019, outside of my primary clinical practice, has been moonlighting at the detox facility at Dimock Health Center, where I am responsible for new admissions to the treatment facility.
