Service

I have been involved in volunteer work since medical school when I recieved a scholarship to study the health of refugees in Afghan Refugee camps in the aftermath of the Soviet invasion followed by a study of the epidemiology of esophageal cancer patients in the Caspian littorals.

I have been involved in a volunteer mission to over two dozen countries around the world since 1993 detailed below and after the Haitian earthquake of 2010, founded Mission: Restore that has proudly provided free medical education to 278 doctors with 2162 hours of hands-on training and 744 complex surgeries in 27 countries.

Teaching

I helped initiate and organize a weekly didactic conference for Plastic surgery rotation for NYMC medical students and surgical residents as well as physician assistants to review the following in order every month: Journal club, Indications, Morbidity and Mortality, Invited Interdisciplinary lecture. Over the past 7 years this has led to me mentoring dozens of students and residents leading to national presentations and publications, one of which won the best published paper in 2018. I am currently actively working with 3 medical students on clinical research projects and mentor a handful of NYMC students on their various projects.
