Profile

qualifications: MD

position: Rheumatologist

department: Rheumatology

I'm a rheumatologist with strong clinical and research interests in rural healthcare delivery. My practice includes two advanced practice providers and full spectrum management of rheumatologic disease that ranges from musculoskeletal ultrasound to a single physician connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) clinic. My combined rheumatology/ILD skillset has enabled me to play a leading role both on my health system's COVID-19 inpatient treatment team and in our research division's COVID-19 clinical trials program. I am currently funded by a PCORI (Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute) engagement grant and have been a PI on over 20 industry trials since joining the St. Lawrence Health System in 2015.
