Biographical Sketch 
As a clinician, educator, and administrator my desire for a diverse, challenging, and rewarding job is satisfied as I shape the career development of many young professionals. All three areas overlap significantly and unify in guiding philosophies developed over the last 14 years which continue to ignite my enthusiasm and passion for success. However, as Yogi Berra once noted, “You can observe a lot just by watching.” Rather than an entire collection of state of the art innovations, my philosophy is a rearrangement, adjustment, and revitalization of the work of those I have encountered; augmented by innovations of my own; and tempered by the feedback of my colleagues and learners. 2012 – 2014 Masters of Academic Medicine (anticipated) University of Southern California Los Angeles, California 1999 – 2000 Chief Residency Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency Program University of Alabama at Birmingham 1997 – 2000 Residency Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency Program University of Alabama at Birmingham 1996 – 1997 Internship Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency Program University of Alabama at Birmingham 1992 – 1996 Doctor of Medicine University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Medicine Kansas City, Missouri 1990 – 1995 Bachelor of Arts in Biology College of Arts and Sciences University of Missouri – Kansas City Kansas City, Missouri 2004 – Present Director, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency University of Alabama – Birmingham 2004 – Present Assistant Director, Internal Medicine Residency Program University of Alabama School of Medicine 2004 – Present Assistant Director, Pediatric Residency Program University of Alabama School of Medicine Awards and Honors 2012 Robert A.

Research/Clinical Interest
Title
Description
As the medical training environment continues to evolve, I am interested in the use of educational theory, adult-learning techniques, simulation, and outcomes-based improvements as applied to our traditional process-based residency programs. Further, as graduate medical educational strategies (supervision, duty-hour, requirements) change, I seek to document the success or failure of particular interventions.
