Description of Clinical Expertise
Critical care; sepsis; acute respiratory failure; shock; multi-system organ failure; influenza and respiratory viral infections; COVID-19; global healthDescription of Other Expertise
hospital operations; preparedness and response; hospital capacity strainDescription of Research Expertise
My research interests focus on hospital preparedness and the evaluation of critical care and acute care resources during times of strain to the system, including situations of dynamic strain (i.e., random variation in demand, seasonal trends, epidemics, and disasters) and fixed strain (i.e., critical illness in resource-limited settings domestically and globally).Selected Publications
