Teaching Interest
Teaching in the clinical setting is a main interest of mine both at the level of training residents and interns as well as veterinary students. Case-based learning on the clinic floor, especially when supported by evidence-based literature, is largely where learning takes place.
Clinical Interest
My clinical interests include treating and managing immune mediated and infectious diseases in cats and dogs. Interventional radiology procedures including tracheal and urethral stenting are growing interest of mine as well.
