ANTHROPOLOGY
I am an emergency medicine physician and applied anthropologist. I have completed fellowships in research and Translational Simulation and Team Performance at Gold Coast University Hospital. I have experience with qualitative methods and action research. I have a passion for understanding how we might collectively shape culture to improve education, team performance, and patient care.
