At Palmetto General Hospital, as an Intensive Care Unit Fellow, I contribute to delivering patient-centered critical care while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to optimize care plans and streamline processes. My focus will include ongoing quality improvement projects that integrate evidence-based practices to enhance patient outcomes and operational efficiency in the ICU. Previously, at Richmond University Medical Center, I served as Chief Resident, where I led initiatives to improve patient safety and infection control, introduced a cloud-based hand-off documentation system, and revamped M&M conferences to incorporate research-driven insights. Founding a Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) interest group further reflects my commitment to advancing clinical training and fostering innovation in medical practices.

As the Quality Chief Resident (PGY3), I led initiatives to improve patient care and safety, enhancing the residency program's focus on quality improvement. I transitioned hand-off documentation to a Microsoft cloud-based system, significantly improving the accessibility and accuracy of patient information. Additionally, I revamped the Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference format to integrate academic research data and key learning points, and I led multiple M&M lectures, particularly focusing on ICU case studies. I laid the groundwork for infection control initiatives aimed at reducing CLABSI rates and founded a Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) interest group, providing hands-on training to fellow residents on various POCUS examination techniques. My proficiency extends to multiple procedural skills, including placing internal jugular and femoral central venous catheters, peripheral venous catheters, PICC lines, dialysis catheters, paracentesis, thoracentesis, arterial lines, lumbar punctures, punch biopsies, and performing rapid sequence intubation. Moreover, I have made significant educational contributions by delivering multiple lectures annually to medical students on topics such as Sepsis, Asthma, COPD, and Pulmonary Hypertension, as well as presenting various medical topics to residents during morning conferences.
