Trainees / Mentees

From 2010-2014, I worked clinically as a general Obstetrician/Gynecologist within both the departments of 

Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center as part of my 

commitment to the National Health Service Corps. In addition to my role as a mentor and educator to residents 

and medical students within the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, I served as the faculty member 

overseeing all clinical obstetric practice for the Department of Family Medicine, mentored and trained each class 

of Family Medicine residents (9 per class), and developed and educational curriculum in Obstetrics and 

Gynecology for family physicians. During these years, I also served as the Associate Residency Program Director 

in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and developed and administered a Fellowship in Advanced 

Obstetrics for graduates of Family Medicine residency programs, which provided comprehensive clinical and 

operative obstetric training to graduates of Family Medicine residency programs who desired to practice fullscope obstetrics (including cesarean delivery). Therefore, in my roles during these years, I had close relationships 

and mentored all of the residents within both the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine 

as well as numerous medical students from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. The following 

list represents students, residents and fellows with whom additional academic mentorship was provided.
