Why I Enjoy Working at Kings County

The siren song of Flatbush is never-ceasing, its pull as unremitting as the ocean's waves.

Teaching

Since 2018 I have been teaching a yearly elective for fourth year medical students in the philosophy of science and medicine. I believe that philosophy is an excellent tool for exploring the many unwritten and shifting assumptions that lie just below the surface of medicine's seemingly placid exterior. By exploring and critiquing these assumptions, I hope to better empower medical students as they navigate the changing face of medicine, through their training and beyond.
