My Medicine and leadership philosophy is a patient-centric approach to medicine, emphasizing the role of the physician-patient relationship in optimizing health. My career as a general practitioner has included leading integrated delivery systems, managing high-risk patients, and implementing a palliative program at the Santa Fe Indian Health Center. I have held various positions (inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care) in various healthcare settings (rural, urban, international, academic, and community-based). This has given me a breadth of knowledge suitable for consulting and medical editing in the fast-paced world of medical education.
