Description of Clinical Expertise
I am an outpatient internist with prior experience in several specific populations: women's health; patients with HIV; and refugees. I have a special interest in vulnerable populations, reducing existing disparities in clinical outcomes, and population health initiatives.I both see patients and precept internal medicine residents in my clinic.

I am an EPIC physician builder, code in SAS, and have my EPIC physician builder analytics certificate. I completed lean/six sigma black belt coursework.Description of Research Expertise
At University of Pennsylvania I work as a primary care provider, an educator for students and residents, and serve as the Medical Director of Population Health for Penn Medicine.My area of expertise is population health. My work focuses on leveraging local quality improvement initiatives, partnership with researchers and insurers, and coordination with multidisciplinary groups and multispecialty providers in developing, studying, and implementing scalable sustainable solutions broadly across health systems.
Current work includes implementation of evidence based outreach modalities for cancer screening and chronic disease at scale aimed to both narrow existing disparities and improve performance in value based contracts.
Locally, I serve on the Measey Primary Care Advisory Board. Nationally, I have served on the 2024 Impact Assessment of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality and Efficiency Measures Project on the A Technical Expert Panel (TEP) and a Federal Assessment Steering Committee (FASC).
