After completing a Pediatric residency in the Albert Einstein/Montefiore Hospital system in New York City, I pursued a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington DC. Upon completion of fellowship in 1995, I accepted an attending position in the Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters in Norfolk, VA. In 2014, I created the Pediatric Urgent Care service line for Children’s Health System and have been practicing pediatric urgent care since then as the Children’s Specialty Group Division Director and CHKD Urgent Care Medical Director. I have participated on multiple state and national committees including the VA EMS for Children Committee, the VA State EMS Medical Direction Committee, the APP Section on Urgent Care Education Committee and served a term on the Society for Pediatric Urgent Care Board of Directors.
