I am responsible for the management of all clinical activities in Hematology/Oncology at the VA Hospital, including the supervision of fellows on both inpatient and outpatient rotations. In addition, I am the coursemaster for the Hematology/Oncology section of Pathophysiology, a course for second year medical students. As coursemaster, I coordinate faculty and fellow involvement in both lecture and small group teaching sessions to present a comprehensive course to our medical students.
