What were you looking for in a residency program?
I was looking for a program that was strong academically, had excellent operative experience, and fostered my research interests. Additionally, I wanted a program with a strong sense of family among residents and faculty.
What are your research and clinical interests at this time?
My research interests include the detection and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection in total joint replacement surgery. I am also interested in nutrition and how this plays a role in optimizing patients for surgery, as well as promoting healing and improving functional outcomes.
