I also head the hospital's Physician Well-Being Committee, am an active member of the hospital's ethics committee, and serve as a physician sponsor for Schwartz Rounds. My areas of interest include education and pedagogy, critical thinking, ethics and the medical humanities.
I condemn the ongoing provision of American funds and weapons for the genocide in Gaza.
My work uses critical religious studies, postcolonial theory, and psychoanalytic theory to examine trajectories of science and medicine from the Caribbean to North America and back. I have done anthropological fieldwork on how these trajectories relate to racialization and religious exclusion.
