Practicing medicine in the emergency department in both Canada and the United States, I have a gained a unique perspective on the delivery of health care. Specifically, I have come to value the principle of universal access to care - a value that emergency physicians are on the front lines to protect. I am also committed to the fair reimbursement of physicians for services rendered to those with insufficient medical insurance.

I have a full time academic position in the emergency medicine residency office at USC and I have been playing an increasingly active role at the medical school level as well. Through my interaction with students and residents, I have been working to increase awareness of our specialty and the principles that we strive to uphold.

Although I have kept a low profile politically, I have some skills as a negotiator and activist from residency and I am eager to accept the challenge to represent my fellow AAEM members.

I would be honored to serve on the Board of California AAEM, an organization that is truly committed to its principles as well as to its members.
