“I am a doctor of internal medicine and work in a private group practice in Syracuse, New York. I also work part time as a teaching hospitalist at St Joseph’s Hospital in Syracuse, supervising resident doctors on an inpatient medicine service. I went to medical school at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, and did my residency training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I have been a parishioner at St Michael’s in Syracuse my whole life, and have been a member of our Haiti committee since its inception in 2000. I have been to Chauffard three times, twice as a physician on medical missions.”
