Research Interests

New agents: antimicrobials and antifungals, antimicrobial dosing in critically ill, improving antimicrobial stewardship services, Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT), and reducing C. difficile infections.

Practice Philosophy

I am an antimicrobial advisor. My goal is to create customized therapy plans for each patient based on a multitude of factors. Understand that each patient is different from the neonate to someone’s great-grandmother, the gymnast from the linebacker. The world of ID is fascinating and not only is the patient and the drug involved critical to consider in therapy decisions, but we must also consider the “bug” where did it come from, is it resistant, and can we reach it with our therapy.

Rotations Precepted
