My current research interests are diverse.  In the arena of vascular anesthesia, I am interested in studying the impact of anesthetic and hemodynamic management on patient outcome.  Additionally, as the Residency Program Director, I am interested in studying methods of improving resident selection, the study of efficacious teaching methods, and promotion of faculty career advancement in education.  I am also interested in the topic of chemical dependency.
