Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

When I decided to become an anesthesiologist, I recognized that my passion to serve patients as a specialist and as a consultant in medicine would include, but also extend beyond, the substantial responsibilities of caring for individual patients in the operating room. Through multi-disciplinary and collaborative committee engagements, post-graduate training in healthcare management, and leadership experiences in anesthesiology I have recognized that a shared vernacular for healthcare professionals, irrespective of professional training, is value creation. D.E.I. creates value in the current and future practice of medicine because it integrates patient experience, quality improvement, physician workforce development, and health care equity.
