Senior Instructor in Emergency Medicine, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
I am an emergency physician based in Colorado, with a background in delivering high-quality medical care in some of the world's most remote locations. My clinical experience spans from the Alaskan arctic to the tropical island of Saipan, with multiple periods of volunteering in clinics located in Nepal's Khumbu Valley and Peru's Sacred Valley. This journey has broadened my medical expertise and enriched my understanding of diverse healthcare systems.
My passion for altitude medicine stems from a Wilderness Medicine fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, an experience that profoundly shaped my career path. This specialized training, coupled with significant clinical exposure in the high-altitude regions of Peru and Nepal, has deepened my interest and expertise in this field. Currently, I am leading multiple research projects focused on high-altitude pathology and treatment. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing our understanding of altitude-related illnesses and developing innovative treatment strategies through unique investigational techniques and evidence-based medical practice.
