Professional Statement
I have had a growing interest in medical education since early in my career. As a chief resident in OB/GYN, I was a participant in focused training programs for new intern physicians in preparing them for their clinical duties. During my MFM fellowship, I was an instructor for the OB emergency simulation program which was attended by the residents and all members of the obstetric team. I am currently involved in ultrasound education for medical students, OB/GYN residents, MFM fellows and fetal surgery fellows. With my experience in simulation I was also able to organize and implement obstetric ultrasound simulations to further raise the quality of ultrasound education. Now as the associate fellowship director for the fetal surgery fellowship, I have been able to contribute to the ultrasound and intervention training curriculum in the form of online weekly case review and didactic sessions. I have been fortunate to work with a group of remarkably talented faculty who have further boosted my interest in education. My additional fetal surgery training has increased my understanding of normal and abnormal fetal development, ultrasound imaging and necessary interventions. This has given me great joy not only with patient care which will always be an important part of my daily clinical activities but it has also enhanced my educational interests.
