I have spent most of my time teaching internal medicine to medical students, interns and residents, in both inpatient and outpatient settings at local hospitals including YNHH, West Haven VAMC, Hospital of St. Raphael, and Bridgeport Hospital. I have also worked and consulted within the managed care as well as community hospital sectors in areas like quality of care, assessment of cost effectiveness of new and existing medical technologies, and care of the underserved. For the past 13 years I have been and continue to be primarily involved in Connecticut's HUSKY Medicaid program, which provides coverage and care to a rapidly growing group of underserved patients, including children. After finishing my undergrad years at Davenport, I was a grad student advisor to DC premedical students while in medical school. I have four grown children, including triplets, one of whom was a Davenporter in the class of 2009. I also remain active at the St. Thomas More center across from Davenport's back gate on Park Street, and loved games of touch football on Old Campus, as well as table soccer ("foosball") in Davenport, and playing the Harkness carillon when I was heeling for the Guild of Carilloneurs.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale College in 1974, my Master of Business Administration from Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania in 1994, and my MD from Yale School of Medicine in 1977. I became a Resident in Internal Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine in 1980.
