*The 3-year first-time residency attainment rate is the weighted average of the 2022-23, through 2024-25 academic years. For each year, the rate is the percent of students attaining a residency out of all graduates or expected graduates in the year who were active applicants in the NRMP match in that year or who attained a residency outside the NRMP match in that year. The 1-year first-time residency attainment rate is 95% for 2024-2025 graduates.

I am committed and eager to help AUC students learn surgery as a part of their journey to becoming an excellent practicing physician. I currently practice at Mount Sinai Hospital (Sinai Chicago) where I have served as clerkship director since 2015. I am a board certified General Surgeon and Colon/Rectal Surgeon. I am also a proud educator for our Mount Sinai based Surgical Residency Program.
