Resident TeachingFaculty Teacher of the Year

Has contributed significantly to our didactics & revamped journal club, for the better.

Almost always in attendance at Monday morning conference.

Always available for questions. Knowledgeable & excellent teacher in & out of OR Allows resident to do everything in their comfort level

with a masterful teaching guiding hand. He is out of this world. I have been on call and (without breaking duty hours) stayed around his cases or clinic to just learn from him. A 10 min conversation in the hall makes you a better surgeon. I could go on and on.
