-Developed a personal reputation for excellent in clinical care, teaching, mentoring, and scholarship. As Chief of IR, my role allowed me to execute the essential missions of this semi-academic, mission-driven department.

-I ensured the service is productive, efficient, cutting-edge, and collaborative. I aimed daily for continuous service improvements, patient satisfaction, and a strong reputation for meeting the patients’ and the institution’s needs. I collaborate with executive leadership, department heads, and division leads to develop new services, build referrals, and innovate.

-As a developing Level II Trauma center, I ensured a strong IR presence in the full spectrum of care for trauma patients. A superb working relationship with trauma surgery, other surgical subfields, and emergency medicine. I, in collaboration with the hospital leadership set the vision for building the more clinical aspects of the service including an interventional radiology clinic, an IR consulting service, and rounding and/or admitting service, depending on needs identified.

-Educationally, I provided a robust educational environment for the attendings and IR staff. I give regular lectures to the attendings, staff and hospital leadership. The hospital has a family medicine residency programs, which is also a beneficiary of the educational experience we provide. We are in the process of offering the family medicine residents the opportunity to rotate through our department. My goal is to ensure that these residents are comfortable with basic IR procedures such as paracentesis, thoracentesis and line placements.
