Biography
I completed my anesthesia residency in 2011 and a fellowship in cardiothoracic anesthesia in 2012, both at the University of Minnesota. I also completed a Masters in Healthcare Administration in 2018 and I currently am the Senior Medical Director of Perioperative Services at M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center. I have worked to develop the Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Service. Our division has done extensive research into the clinical effects of TAP blocks, paravertebral blocks, and interscalene blocks on patients post-operative pain control opioid use, and length of stay. At the same time, we are evaluating new ways to improve patient satisfaction and functional status after surgery. Additionally, our team is now investigating the role of cryoanalgesia on acute pain.
