About Me
In my career, I get to combine three passions of my life, that of taking care of people’s health as a doctor, teaching as a mentor and educator, and advancing the science of medicine as a researcher. I’m a general internal medicine and pediatric doctor, meaning I take care of people from shortly after their birth until the end of their life. I also specialize in delivering primary care to individuals with sickle cell disease, a genetic disease that affects hemoglobin levels in the blood and causes many health problems. In this population of patients, I tend to focus on leveraging the chronic care model and improving care during the transition period from adolescence into adulthood.
Apart from clinical activities, I’m an NIH-funded principal investigator on multiple research studies, have published peer-reviewed manuscripts, presented at numerous local and national conferences, and written book chapters. My research interests include clinical informatics, sickle cell disease, economic evaluations, secondary use of electronic health records and personal health informatics. I also have methodological expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods, community-engaged research, and clinical trials. In addition, I have an interest in the design and evaluation of electronic surveys, empowering individuals with health care, health care information technology disparities, secondary use of electronic health records to develop contemporaneous cohorts to follow the clinic history of disease, and transitional care of adolescents and young adults with chronic diseases from pediatric to adult-centered care using the chronic care model. To this end, I helped develop the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program, which is working to develop one of the most diverse health databases in history, and designed the surveys the program gave to participants.
