I have been an attending emergency physician, medical professor, and director of point-of-care ultrasound at Olive View-UCLA since 2012. Prior to that, I had lived and worked in many places for my professional training, including Sacramento, Irvine, Atlanta, and New Orleans. In addition, I lived for three years in the Gambia, West Africa, as a Peace Corps Volunteer, where I helped to develop HIV prevention activities. My main professional interest is in helping to train the next generation of healthcare providers in performing bedside or point-of-care ultrasound, which not only gives critical information for treatment, but also allows providers to spend more time with their patients. Recently, I passed the National Board of Echocardiography's ASCeXAM (aka “echo boards”), one of the few non-cardiologists to do so. I use this specialized training to further train other providers to better manage our patients. Specifically, I am interested in how ultrasound can revolutionize the management of acute heart failure, by allowing for realtime sharing of echocardiographic information between providers, and the initiation of specific treatment plans tailored to the patient’s heart failure profile.
