Biography
I completed my undergraduate degree and further graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University, and then medical school at U. of Maryland. I was the first graduate of the combined EM-IM Residency at U. Maryland Medical System (UMMS) where I was Chief Resident. I completed my Fellowship in Critical Care at UMMS/Shock Trauma Center and later did an Advanced Fellowship there in Extracorporeal Organ Support. I was a faculty member in EM and IM at East Carolina U. where I developed and directed the EM-IM residency program and was Medical Director of the ICU Consult Service. After moving to Houston, I was an Associate Professor of EM and IM at Baylor College of Medicine and Director of ED Critical Care. For the last 10 years, I have been at U. FL College of Medicine -Jacksonville where I am a Professor of EM, Neurology and Surgery, and am the Director of the Advanced Lung/ECLS Service, Director of the Med-Surg ICU, and Co-Director of the NSICU. I have lectured and directed and taught procedure workshops at state, national and international conferences over the last 20 years of my career.
