I am an emergency physician, founder, and independent director. For twenty-four years I have led PACE MD Global Health, training more than 55,000 providers across the Americas. For fourteen years I served as Founding Chief Medical Officer of Lyric Health, a national telemedicine platform. I am a Fellow of IFEM, ACEP, and AAEM, an Ashoka Fellow, and the recipient of the IFEM Humanitarian Award.
