 Program in Global Surgery and Social Change

He is interested in Surgery and Global Health research, particularly as it pertains to advocacy, data analysis, and the use geographic information systems to improve access to quality surgical care for underserved populations. He was actively involved in the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery. His current research focuses on geographic visualization of surgical relationships and surgical epidemiology. He plans to complete a General Surgery residency and to become an academic surgeon with a focus on Global Surgery.
