Vice Chair, Department of Pediatrics
New York City Health & Hospitals / Jacobi
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
bronx, New York, United States
I am Associate Vice Chair for Academics at the Jacobi Medical Center (JMC), Chief of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Through my experiences working at major academic centers and inner-city hospitals, I have learned that I can make the greatest impact on improving health disparities by providing care to the underserved while teaching medical students and residents. JMC, a municipal teaching hospital, has provided me with the ideal forum for directly impacting health disparities and mentoring students, residents, and junior faculty. Serving a diverse, low socio-economic community, we have created partnerships with community groups to improve the care for children with chronic diseases.
