I am a graduate of the University of Rochester, where I received both my bachelor’s and medical degrees. I then moved to Minnesota where I completed a dual residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota. Now as an assistant professor at the university, I am the Vice Provost and a Co-Director of our Center for Interprofessional Health with responsibility for the IPE curriculum and the units that support IPE at the University of Minnesota Academic Health Sciences. I am also the Medical Director of the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic which is a free clinic run by students from the schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, public health and social work.
