About
Biography
I am a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine and the Director of Clinical and Implementation Research for Emergency Medicine. My research focuses on geriatric emergency medicine, fall risk, and safe transitions of care from the Emergency Department. My current work includes studying how implementing geriatric screening tools into the Emergency Department can improve patient outcomes, an effort funded by the National Institute on Aging.
I serve in the community as the medical representative for a Franklin County interdisciplinary team focused on preventing elder abuse and neglect. My role also includes mentoring medical students and residents in emergency medicine research and geriatrics, and I work with graduate students pursuing an Interdisciplinary Certificate in Aging. I earned my MD at the Duke University School of Medicine, where I also completed my internship and residency.
