Teaching is the other half of clinical practice.
I've coordinated medical residency for over a decade. What you learn preparing the next physician is different from what you learn treating the next patient — and the two reinforce each other.
Coordinator of the Nephrology Medical Residency
Responsible for residency training in nephrology, coordinating the program, the clinical curriculum and integration with in-hospital hemodialysis.
Internal Medicine Medical Residency
I designed and implemented the institution's internal medicine residency program — because without solid general clinical training there is no specialization worth pursuing.
Professor at the School of Medicine
Internal medicine and nephrology courses for undergraduates. Training future physicians with emphasis on clinical reasoning and integrated reading of lab results.
The good resident learns to read the patient before reading the exam. The good residency program teaches doubt of the "normal" — to see the interval between what's within range and what sustains the individual's longevity ahead.
What I try to convey is simple: structured clinical rigor is compatible — and necessary — with precision preventive medicine. They are not two worlds. They are the same medicine, at different moments in a person's timeline.
