Primary care, communication skills, chronic pain, health preventative, and chronic disease management

I am an Associate Program Director for the categorical internal medicine program and the lead physician at the Farmington Internal Medicine Associates office at UConn Health. Twice a week I teach residents during patient care in the afternoons. In my own practice, I also teach medicine residents, medical students, and APRNs. I have sought to create high value experiences in primary care for our patients and our learners.  To do this, I created and currently manage our Office Based Medicine track, our Primary Care Expansion track, a public health curriculum, and provide consitent education for graduate education training in pain management and communication skills.
