Resources

These resources and handouts were created as part of a curriculum for internal medicine residents and hematology/oncology fellows. Opinions expressed within are my own. They should not be considered to be medical advice and are intended to be used for general principles of education, not for direct patient care.

With Whom Am I In Conversation?

A dear mentor and teacher of mine had two questions that he was always encouraging us to ask: "What frames what?" and "With whom are you in conversation?" These thinkers, writers, and podcasters are those that are informing my thinking and approach to education in this moment.

This blog by Ethan Mollick, a professor at the Wharton School at Penn, is one of the most grounded and realistic takes I've found on exploring the "jagged frontier" of what AI can and can't do.

Mike Sacasas is a brilliant thinker who reflects on how technology interacts with philosophy and human flourishing. While I enjoy exploring technology, he reminds me of the need to be intentional about how we use technology, and that inevitability is a myth.

This substack reflects on the challenges AI raises in education — not in an alarmist way, but by anticipating real problems and thinking through solutions. It's helpful to have a perspective from outside medicine.

Machine Gods

Machine Gods

Podcast

Kevin Roose and Casey Newton's new podcast about AI, made in partnership with NPR. Their mix of thoughtful reporting, curiosity, and humor helps me keep up with what AI is doing and think through what it means for the rest of us.

Hard Fork

Hard Fork

Podcast

The New York Times technology podcast that helped me follow the rapid changes in AI. Kevin Roose and Casey Newton made it both thoughtful and hilarious; they now bring that same energy to Machine Gods. The Hard Fork archive remains a useful record of how we got here.

One of the most intentional, deliberate, and brilliant thinkers today, Ezra Klein covers a wide range, from politics to mindfulness, but his shows on technology, distraction, and attention are phenomenal.

About Me

I am a hematologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. I grew up in Florida, trained at the University of Florida for undergraduate and medical school, then moved to Boston for residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at BIDMC, where I stayed on as faculty.

Clinical Focus

Non-malignant hematologic conditions, including splanchnic thrombosis and pregnancy-associated hematology.

Education Roles

Director of Hematology Fellowship Curriculum and Associate Program Director for the BIDMC Internal Medicine Residency.

Scholarly Work

Research on cognitive load theory and learning science in graduate medical education, with a focus on effective use of digital tools.
