"Since graduating from fellowship I have been in a hybrid academic/community Pediatric Emergency Room. At Inova, coming from a Peds residency, I was ecstatic about the varied backgrounds of our PEM attendings from both Gen Peds and Gen EM backgrounds. This allowed me to tap into each of their fortes, whether as simple as navigating difficult parents to doing more invasive procedures.

This one-year fellowship was established in 2003 and includes simultaneous clinical and research responsibility. The objectives are to develop a bariatric and advanced minimally invasive surgeon that can assume complete responsibility for the preoperative, operative, and postoperative surgical care of the general surgery patient undergoing minimally invasive surgery and the morbidly obese patient.
