Brief Biographical Sketch:


I’m a Stanford medical student in my third year.

Outside of biology and medicine, I’m interested in public policy. I took many classes in economics and political science while I was in college at Columbia University, and I’m proud of my knowledge of education, health, and foreign policy.

I also enjoy working out, cooking, social dance, spending time with friends and family, and being in nature. I like lots of things related to the arts. I write poetry, play the piano, do amateur acting and sing in choirs ocassionally, and enjoy trips to museums and live performances —plays, orchestral and chamber music, dance performances—as well as movies.

We’ll solve a case of chest pain due to heart disease. Concepts we’ll cover include the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, common and life-threatening causes of chest pain, and treatment of heart attacks.
