Current Appointment
Neurohospitalist, Hennepin County Medical Center
The University of Colorado has been an incredibly impactful home for my personal and professional development, from medical school through neurology residency. I was drawn to neurohospitalist medicine by its breadth and depth of clinical care. The inpatient setting is unrivaled in its meaningful educational experiences. Competent academic neurohospitalist practice demands several diverse skill sets, including complex clinical decision making, timeliness, educational effectiveness, systems-based practice, and leadership. The fellowship at the University of Colorado does a fantastic and diligent job of honing these skills, allowing graduates to operate as a high level attending on day one. The quantity and quality of the faculty mentorship are unmatched. The patient population provides both classic community care with complex quaternary clinical management. The flexibility in the schedule allows each fellow to easily chart their extra-clinical interests and start their academic career on a strong footing.
