Biography
My clinical interests include integration of early palliative care in patients with serious illnesses, clinical care of comorbid chronically ill and frail older adults both chronically and during acute illness, along with promoting healthy aging. This interest translates into both the educational and research setting. I serve on faculty at the Wake Forest School of Medicine in helping teach the course called Medicine and Patients in Society (MAPS). In addition, I am the geriatric liaison and serve on the internal medicine residency executive curriculum committee for the internal medicine residency program, which involves overseeing and creating curriculum for internal medicine residents in geriatrics.
I am currently grant funded by the Duke Endowment for research on advance care planning in vulnerable older adults, co-site PI for a PCORI grant on the "Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Early Integrated Telehealth versus In-Person Palliative Care for Patients with Advanced Lung Cancer" under Dr. Jennifer Temel, and funded though the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity for Readiness study focused on caregivers of loved ones with dementia.
