Bio:
I joined Brigham and Women's Hospital Division of Global Health Equity in 2003, shortly after the department was created by Jim Yong Kim, Paul Farmer and Howard Hiatt. My responsibilities include oversight of the Lilly-funded MDR TB training and research initiatives in Russia, support of the BWH residency in Global Health Equity, and management of the BWH physician volunteer program with the Indian Health Service. I have a BS from Cornell and an MS from the Harvard School of Public Health.

About: The Division of Global Health Equity (DGHE) is dedicated to addressing health disparities through training, education, research and service. The Division focuses on infectious diseases (e.g., HIV and tuberculosis) as well as non-infectious diseases (e.g., coronary artery disease and diabetes) and other health problems of major importance across the globe. Through the hospital’s Doris and Howard Hiatt Residency in Global Health Equity, internal medicine residents in training divide their time between BWH and Partners In Health project sites. This model is now being replicated at other medical schools and teaching hospitals across the country.
