For almost fifteen years, I served as a Physician Editor for pulmonary medicine at UpToDate, an online clinical resource for physicians. In my work as a Physician Editor, I collaborated with outside authors and editors to research and evaluate the medical literature for pulmonary medicine to provide evidence-based, point-of-care guidance for the practicing physician. While the main goal of UpToDate is to guide clinical decision-making, UpToDate also serves as a major resource for Continuing Medical Education, Maintenance-of-Certification, and Patient Education. Previously, I developed the curriculum for the Allergy & Immunology fellowship program at Boston Medical Center and served as the training program director for many years. In addition, I participated in a number of multicenter trials of medications for asthma, COPD, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

As a training program director for Allergy & Immunology and a faculty member in Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, I have mentored over 35 Allergy-Immunology and Pulmonary-Critical Care trainees as well as other residents and students, in areas of career development, publications, thesis preparation, and career-life balance. I received the Robert Dawson Evans Department of Medicine Teaching Award in 2004, and throughout my career I have enjoyed teaching and mentoring junior faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students and helping them to clarify and achieve their aspirations.
