More
I am a board-certified emergency physician with experience and training in the wide spectrum of prehospital medicine from austere wilderness medical support to urban EMS & Disaster response. As the director of the Wilderness & Expedition Medicine program at the State University of New York: Upstate Medical University, I train other emergency physicians to provide operational medical support in wilderness & expedition settings and maintain a research focus in endurance and heat-related illnesses.
I've worked expeditions and events in the remote Southwest USA, the Sahara Desert, the Gobi Desert, and the Amazon jungle; and provide ongoing event medical direction for local & national endurance races, as well as other mass-gatherings and events. At home, I provide educational and operational support as an EMS Physician to local fire, EMS, and law enforcement agencies as well as to endurance races, mass-gathering events, expeditions, and search and rescue operations around the world and in the most austere environments.
