My primary academic avidity is in teaching patient-centered pulmonary and critical care medicine to learners of all levels with a particular interest in point-of-care ultrasonography. Teaching point-of-care ultrasonography greatly compliments my preferred teaching methods of bedside instruction, small-group didactics and simulation experiences. Point-of-care ultrasonography also pairs well with my interests in quality improvement and curriculum development. Other areas of educational interest include development of primary palliative care skills in the intensive care unit and ethical dilemmas in critical care medicine.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility.
