Personal Statement
I chose to be an educator in the field of cardiology because I enjoy seeing the light come on in the eyes of residents and fellows as they learn how to handle patients with complex cardiovascular disease. In order to be a good educator and by working in an academic environment I am stimulated to keep up on the latest research and evidence based care for my patients and in my mentorship of trainees.
