What brought me to MUN? What Keeps Me At MUN?

I trained in Nephrology at Memorial University and was fortunate to join the group here after I completed my fellowship. I enjoy the mix of clinical work, research, and teaching at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

Education:

I completed my Internal Medicine and Nephrology training in St. John’s, followed by a two year health research fellowship. I completed a certificate of medical teaching in 2011

Research/Teaching Summary:

I have been Chair of the Undergraduate Medical Studies (UGMS) Committee since 2011 and I have been involved in the Clinical Epidemiology graduate program since 2000. I have an interest in curriculum development at all levels of medical training.

My research interests include various aspects of the medical management of dialysis patients and medical education topics.
