I am enrolled in the Certified Physician Development Coach Program at PCI. I plan to expand on this training, achieve ICF certification, and utilize these skills to enhance wellbeing for both individual physicians and groups.

VIce President

While not academic in nature I was very active on the search committee to replace our society's Executive Director. As Vice President my roles include furthering the Academic, clinical, and advocacy initiatives of our 4,500 member society. My particular focus is on enhancing well being for our physicians from residency to retirement.

Overview: Developed policy and procedure in response to new practice guidelines, regulatory updates, or clinical issues. Projects included capnography during transport of newly intubated patients, blood conservation, perioperative glucose control, and controlled medication tracking. Developed guidelines and teaching tools for safe airway management during COVID-19 including proper use of PPE and airway equipment. Worked closely with nursing and supply chain to ensure timely availability of all necessary items for the vast number of intubations occurring during the peak of the pandemic.

Advisory Board Member

Board Member

Board of Governors of Professional Liability Corporation Governance Committee Claims Committee

Attending Physician, Clinical Assistant Professor, Department Vice Chair

In this role I was part of the Departmental Executive Committee. In addition to managing LMC I was involved in budget, staffing, and hiring for all the sites in the department. I was deeply involved in development of new GI, ASC, and hospital practices for the department, including the creation of business plans, contracts, financial arrangements, site evaluations, and ultimately staffing and practice implementation. These practices included GI at the Staten Island Physician’s Partnership, Anesthesiology services at Kingsbrook Medical Center, and Ambulatory Surgery at SUNY Bay Ridge. I additionally served actively on the SUNY Clinical Practice Plan Board and the Finance Committee.

Chairman

As department chairman I was responsible for all clinical, administrative, and educational activities. Interviewing, hiring, team building, orientation and HR management were key to creating a high performing department. Hiring decisions were mine to make and I relished detailed background checks and direct verbal references from prior leadership. Quality, efficiency, budgeting, policy and procedure were all under my domain. As an SVP for the hospital I had broad committee responsibility including credentialing and search committee work.
