Biography
Bio
I am trained as a medical anthropologist and an emergency medicine physician with a background studying medical pluralism in and health care as a system of governance in Senegal and the United States. I try to bring social medicine perspectives to bedside care, clinical teaching, research in health systems and community, quality improvement, and advocacy.
