Scholarly Activity

I deeply appreciate the privilege of being a teacher and a clinician. I spent about 10 years in the private practice of family medicine before returning to the academic environment to teach and practice. My teaching reflects my years in practice, and my practice reflects my style as a teacher. My particular practice and research interests include adolescent medicine and Women's Health, and primary care dermatology. As Inpatient Director, I enjoy the challenge of teaching evidence-based internal medicine to our residents.

A story is told that the mother of a future Nobel prize winner greeted him upon his return from school with the question 'So, did you ask a good question today?' To practice medicine as science requires us to recognize that the complexity of the human organism causes us to have far more questions than we have answers. Nonetheless, our patients ask us to translate uncertainty into recommendation, and to help them to make their own informed choices. As a teacher, I push our residents and students to examine closely what they 'know', and to explore rigorously the 'evidence'. Physicians have much to learn from being critical readers, yet even more to learn from their patients' and their families' lives.

My strong interest in evidence-based medicine led me to create and run a monthly journal club for our Inpatient Service. I am also an Associate Editor for Domino's 5 Minute Clinical Consult. I recently completed a study investigating the predictors and prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in the college population of Worcester. I continue to develop software and applications for teaching using the Palm OS PDA, and have just created a searchable EKG database for use in teaching electrocardiography.
